Save up to 10% on your home heating costs with our Dryer Vent Seal!
Have you ever noticed that the room containing your clothes dryer is the coldest room in your house? Ever wonder why??
Your clothes dryer is connected to a 4" diameter exhaust duct that is open to the outdoors. In the winter, cold air leaks in through the duct, through your dryer and into your house, while your heated air just pours right out!
Try this yourself - with the dryer off, go outside and feel your heated air leaking out of the dryer vent. This is a substantial energy-loser!
Many common discharge vents use a sheet metal flapper to try to reduce this air leakage. This is very primitive technology that does not provide a positive seal to stop the air leakage.
Compounding the problem is that over time, lint clogs the flapper valve causing it to stay open. This is like leaving a window open!
Conventional dryer vents can allow hot air into your home during the summer months, and cold air in during the winter.
The Solution - Install a Dryer Vent Seal!
Our Dryer Vent Seal will reduce unwanted air infiltration, and keep out pests, bees and rodents as well.
The vent will remain closed unless the dryer is in use. When the dryer is in use, the floating shuttle underneath the visible hood rises to allow warm air, lint, and moisture to escape.
What is the Dryer Vent Seal?
Our Dryer Vent Seal is made of high impact ABS plastic, able to withstand temperatures from -148 degrees Fahrenheit to 230 degrees Fahrenheit.
It will mount easily on siding, brick, or cement. The top may be removed for cleaning. The vent can be painted if desired. Dimensions 6.5" W x 7.0" D x 13.3" H
How Does the Dryer Vent Seal Work?
The vent will remain closed unless the dryer is in use. When the dryer is in use, the floating shuttle underneath the visible hood rises to allow warm air, lint, and moisture to escape.
Outside air enters your home through the exposed dryer vent, and that means higher heating bills in winter, higher cooling bills in summer. Our Dryer Vent Closure keeps out that outside air: heated dryer air pushes up the floating shuttle, then escapes from the vent's bottom. When dryer stops, shuttle drops back down, keeping wind, birds, bugs and rodents outside. ABS plastic vent mounts easily over existing 4" vent pipe. Can be painted. Screws included.

* Stops uncomfortable drafts!
* Keep out pests, bees and rodents!
* Reduce unwanted air infiltration!

|
Are any hazardous chemicals created, used, or released during the manufacture of the product which must be reported under the State Right to Know Act (SARA), Section 313 via the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)? (The absence of hazardous chemicals or air pollutants in manufacture is laudable. However the presence of such hazards is not a simple indicator of environmental impact. Which listed hazards are present, how they are handled, the magnitude of emissions, and the extent and effectiveness of efforts to minimize creation, use, and releases of such hazards, are all important in assessing environmental responsibility. While it can be problematic to try to compare the performance of different companies, a record of TRI releases by company found on the EPA website allows review of a single company over time. http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/tris/tris_query.html) |
