I checked, we called you, but were not able to leave voice mail. Anyway, we do not work on dryers and their exhaust, this is not what we do.

Hi. I have already called your company twice with no call back! Also these are ducts already in place. The building was gutted and redone in the 80s. I am merely looking for someone to replace the exhaust fans on roof.

Yes. Absolute. We always call back, and if nobody answers, we leave a message. here some regulations. (E) Dryer duct. The maximum length of a clothes dryer duct shall not exceed 25 feet from dryer location to the outlet terminal. Deductions for bends must be accounted for as outlined in Sections MC 504.6.1 and FGC 614.6.1. (G) Vent termination. The location of the vent termination shall comply with Section FGC 614.4, the manufacturer?s specifications, and the following: 1\. Vent termination shall not be located at lot line walls or within three feet of lot lines; 2\. The front, side or rear wall vent terminations shall be free of obstructions; 3\. The vent opening shall not be located or constructed so as to create a fire or health hazard; 4\. The LMP shall ensure that the building?s structural integrity is not compromised due to the wall penetration opening. Openings shall be located so as to avoid cutting into studs, joists, or any other structural member; 5\. Clearance from regional snow line. The vent shall be a minimum of three feet above the adjacent grade; and 6\. Vent termination shall be thermally sealed in accordance with section 402.4 of the Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State (ECCCNYS). (H) Inspection. A gas roughing-in, gas test and gas finish inspection by the Department of Buildings or self certification shall be required on new installations. When filing for existing dryers that vent through the outer wall, only a finish inspection is required when filed on an LAA1 form. (I) Gas authorization. Upon successful inspections, the LMP shall request gas authorization and an LAA1 sign-off.

Whoa! Really? We have 5 dryers venting up the ducts. 2 on the left and 3 on the right. I actually called your company and no one has called me back. Absolute? Right?

Gas dryer vents cannot exceed 25′ in equivalent length and cannot be common vented. Never seen them installed properly to begin with.
