Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dundas Jafine CHK100ZW Heat Keeper Kit With 2 Clamps
Customer Review: A Need to Vent
Summary: 3 Stars
Venting all that hot dryer air into the basement seems like a good idea, much better than letting all that expensive heat go to waste.
The concept is not without its drawbacks however. The first blast of hot air is laden with moisture, moisture better vented outside even in the winter. I've found the best solution is to vent the first few minutes of the dryer outside before flipping the lever on the dryer vent.
This particular model is a little better than the one I had previously. The round lint trap is easy to pull on and off, an important feature for my wife and me. Installation was fairly easy, but I was disappointed to discover there is no hanger on the back of this vent. To keep the vent in place I wound some heavy wire around two masonry nails on either side of the vent. So far that has kept the vent secure.
Out of the box this vent, like the Ace vent it replaced, was literally coming apart at the seams. I glued the gaps in place before installation though the metal clamps probably would have pulled them together.
The Dundas dryer vent comes with two plastic clamps which I chose not to use. The metal clamps hold more securely and are much easier to remove.
The screen's mesh is not very fine so too much lint escapes into the air. For now I put a piece of stocking over the screen to catch more lint. A four inch duct clamp holds the stocking in place.
So far the vent is doing what it's supposed to do and the lever for controlling air flow is adequate; it keeps the flapper in its intended position. How long the Dundas Jafine solution will hold up to the roughness of wife and daughter remains to be seen.
