As a dryer exhaust technician, I would recommend that you use long radius elbows instead of mitered (adjustable) elbow fittings and use gradient turns instead or pivot (right angled) turns. You missed an opportunity at the first elbow fitting to angle the fitting at a slope to meet the next horizontal run and a gain another opportunity at the third and forth fittings to allow for a gradient slope and eliminate the sharp (short radius turns) which provide the highest amount of back pressure and cause for greater equivalent length.

I really don't like all those 90's and that long level run. I'd have run 1 90 at the dryer, a long sloping run to a second 90 to the exterior. Less back pressure and the slope would encourage the lint to fall rather than settle in the long flat run. It would also make the inevitable duct sweeping much easier.

Excellent job. I recently did the same exact thing for my dryer vent. It was a fun little project. The most difficult part was getting the vents to connect together

Thanks I was assigned the task of setting one of the dryer vents up. I feel confident enough to give it a try. I'll be sure to check there's no air coming out at the seems.

Thanks Benjamin! I figured a screw would just be a place for lint to catch on 👍

What about direction of flow? I believe you installed the duct with the wrong direction of flow. Will cause lint to collect in the joints and cause restriction or fire. Flow towards tapered end of joints.

I was checking my manual on that for the exact same reason. Crimped male ends running toward exhaust should be code, I believe, or at least recommended in CSIA

Not sure of your jurisdiction but this would not meet code in NYS. Max length in NYS is 25 feet and you need to subtract 5 feet with every 90°.

That's actually NFPA 211 I believe and its the same down here in the south. Good catch, you're likely right, but Im pretty sure venting under houses is frowned upon regardless.
