Step 1

Open your metal hose clamp fully and slide it over the semi-rigid duct. Do not force a tight hose clamp over the duct as it can kink, rip or otherwise damage the duct.

Step 2

Grasp the semi-rigid duct and with a side-to-side twisting motion, slide it over the connection on the back of the dryer.

Step 3

Rotate and slide the hose clamp so that it is on top where the semi-rigid duct overlaps the dryer connection.

Step 4

Tighten the hose clamp with your screwdriver to secure it to the dryer connection. Snug is best; over-tightening the hose clamp may kink or collapse the duct connection on the dryer.

Warnings

Wear gloves when installing semi-rigid duct to a dryer. Even though it is flexible, it can still seriously cut you.
