I have a dryer vent window.
I would like to install a dryer box and have most of the dryer vent pipe concealed behind drywall.
Will it be OK if at the last small section, the dryer vent exits the drywall through a large hole to turn 90 and connect to the vent section in the dryer vent window?
In other words, is it OK for a dryer vent to exit through drywall? I know a furnace vent pipe, for example, requires quite large clearances from flammables. Do the same rules apply to a dryer vent?
