Compatibility Guide

Start by confirming the route is accessible and made of compatible metal ducting before you choose a DryerRoute kit.

Use DryerRoute only when these are true

• The duct route you plan to clean is rigid or semi-rigid metal.
• You can safely reach the vent opening you intend to use.
• The route is not visibly crushed, torn, or severely bent.
• You are not dealing with gas smell, smoke, scorching, or overheating that needs professional diagnosis first.

Do not use DryerRoute when these are true

• The vent is plastic, foil, or vinyl.
• The route has severe crushing or unsafe elbows.
• You cannot safely access the dryer or exterior opening.
• You are uncomfortable using a drill-driven cleaning tool.
