Re: vertical dryer vent

Wonder if this was approved with a dryer booster fan so that the vent piping could exceed the 25 foot limitation of old....... Just curious or if the dryer unit was changed out for a dryer that couldn't meet the specification of the original so that dryer duct run could exceed 25 feet?

B Bob - Not for nothing but... "About a 16 foot vertical run". Last time I checked 16' is less than 25', but with the 'new math' they're teaching these days... :lol:
