Imperial 4-in x 8-ft Dryer Vent Kit is rated 1.8 out of 5 by 4.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bel from Regret buying this. Hard to install for there were no clear set of instructions and tools needed were not specified on the label. The black gasket moved and could hardly stay in place. The plastic end to dryer connection had a leak. The tube had a sharp end and when straightened, it needed to cutting, leaving it odd on the opposite end. The kit was useless and could not be returned to store because the duct itself was already torn. Also it requires a bigger clearance between the dryer and the wall. Had to ask for somebody who had experience installing dryer ducts before but could'nt do it either.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Gustav83 from Do not buy I bought this pipe and it was already broken the hard plastic pipe holds together on one side with on clip. This one was already broken. The pipe it self is not very flexible, waste if a money. Just hope I can return it as it was not cheap.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Andrew Bassington from Dryer vent kit It's ok. Expensive for what it is but it does fix the dryer up.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DetRedWingsMyTeam from Extends to only 6 feet. This is a really lousy dryer vent kit. I could only extend it to 6 feet not the 8 feet specified. I did not want to ruin the hose by forcing it longer. I could see that all the expansion joints were open. The plastic elbow is a clamshell held together by molded clips. The clips pop out easily. The plastic elbow has a rubber o-ring that is supposed to seal the connection, the problem is that the elbow has a gap where the two halves meet. To get the plastic elbow and o-ring onto the outlet pipe requires a slight greasing (petroleum jelly) of the pipe otherwise it is not going slide on. What happens is the o-ring rolls over on the dry pipe and out of the groove. However after lubing the outlet pipe just enough for the plastic elbow and o-ring to slide on, it now slides around on the pipe and of course will easily slide off. To solve the problem, I used a larger hose clamp (supplied clamps are too small) and 2 small steel L-brackets. I put the hose clamp around the plastic elbow and the clamp also held the 2 brackets. I used self drilling screws to attach the brackets to the dryer. But because the vent hose is too short, I am going to have to add more 4" pipe at the vent. If you have a short run to the vent and can use the rear outlet from the dryer and back it up to the wall to hold the plastic elbow against the wall, then this kit might be useful. Otherwise it is a very poor design and good luck using it.
