Below are some Guidelines for Proper Dryer Vent Installation:

Avoid using Foil or Vinyl Vents:

These can be a fire threat
The rough interior permits significantly greater lint build-up
They can be broken, punctured or split during cleaning
If a dryer fire does develop the plastic or vinyl provides fuel to let flames to spread very quickly
Flexible foil vents can get smashed behind the dryer to inhibit airflow
Dryer ducts made of substandard product can sag with low spots allowing water and lint to accumulate

Do not Use PVC Vents:

These also lead to a fire hazard
Static in PVC venting causes lint to attach to the inside of the vent walls, which can mingle with the expelled water during a regular dry cycle, creating sludge and a greater risk of a fire
PVC can sweat when warm moist air moves through the cool smooth area which can allow lint to gather and solidify and, successively, make cleanings more difficult
It takes longer for PVC to heat up so water can remain in a vapor form inside the duct and combine with lint accumulation to develop sludge inside the vent

Only use Rigid Metal Venting:

This is code certified material for dryer vents
The smooth interior surface will allow lint to pass through freely to decrease build up
It is rated the most safe for containing a spark from within the dryer to prevent flames from spreading
