Retrofit Foundation Dryer Vent for Existing Block Walls
The EZ Vent 15.88" x 8" retrofit foundation dryer vent assembly is made for remodeling on an existing block foundation. It lets you vent a dryer through the foundation without core drilling a round hole through concrete. If you have a 16" x 8" opening, this retrofit dryer vent slips right in.
Works With the Opening You Already Have
This retrofit foundation dryer vent fits a standard 16" x 8" block opening, whether it comes from:
-
A missing block in the foundation wall
-
Knocking out a block to create a new dryer vent location
-
Removing an old foundation air vent and replacing it with a dryer vent
At 15.88" wide, the vent plate easily slips into a 16" opening.
How to Install a Retrofit Foundation Dryer Vent
-
Prepare the opening. Clear a 16" x 8" block opening and remove any loose mortar or debris.
-
Slide the vent in. The 15.88" x 8" plate slips into the opening.
-
Secure it. Use mortar for a masonry-matched finish, or silicone caulk for a faster install.
-
Connect the duct from the dryer to the vent.
