Hi...Just wanted to let you know that according to the Massachusetts State Building Code 780 CMR....Dryer vents are required to be vented directly to the outside. These special little collection kits are illegal in massachusetts unless your dryer is a very special dryer that has some sort of condensing mechanisms and is rated for this type of venting. So.....don't install these little kits in habitable spaces if your dryer is not rated for them. Most are not..... If you want to read about it go to www.mass.gov/bbrs and click on the inspectors page on the left hand side and go to the building code...7th edition for one and two families....go to the index an search dryer vents.....it clearly states the specifications. Be careful of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Just for the record...I am a Building Inspector...
