gas dryer

[libby lou lou]

Had my dryer fitted today, the exhaust goes through the wall, with it being gas, MUST it go outside ? we used to let our electric exhaust in the kitchen to allow(in my opinion) it to even out the dryness of the central heating, or am i barking up the wrong tree? i understand fumes must go outside, but ,with it being a "you can just stick the exhaust out of the window affair," would i be able to exhaust in the kitchen?,sorry if it seems a daft question, but this is how you learn, thanks.

What did the installer tell you?

Yes it is daft.

You might as well throw a bucket of water over the walls.

You must vent it outside.

Do you want condensation running down your windows and mould growing on your walls?

Some how i'm not getting through, i don't get mouldy walls as iv'e done this for years, with a widow or door slighty ajar , the exaust contributes to heat and moisture to compensate for the dryness of the central heating, the question is,,, Would we suffer from being co2ed to death by running the exhaust to my kitchen ?

 

[Strachan]

I repeat, what did your installer tell you? You must have asked him the same question!

I have never read anything quite so dam stupid, it just has to be a wind up.

If your serious, post an address and we can get the HSE to call and throw the book at your plumber, may also save your life, assuming you want to that is.

Long story, for a tumble dryer , big firm, they flooded my ceiling , i wanted them just to fit the dryer for free, as compo, no big deal, up to now,6 days later, people turning up with different size flues, ventilation box, about 15" by9" that i had to tell the the corgi that i don't need this as i have an open window (over the phone) as he had sent up sub, over the phone ., he said... QUOTE,,, Tell them what you want, and i will commis to moz.................. am i doing some other person's job.

If the appliance is under a worktop it must have the vent hose attatched to outside either through a window or directly, if not it is just advised that you have the window or door open when the applaince is in use. It is a flueless appliance.

my choice

 

[dan the man]

electric dryers are different to gas dryers on the flues as water vapour is a product of combustion (gas) and thus leaving it in your room with defo give u condensation like some said above.

While your at it leave the flue off the combi too upstairs to even that out

dan, good idea, will have to get the combi moved upstairs, never though of that
