Dryer Vent Hose 4" Insulated Flexible Duct 16ft 🛠️
Description:
This insulated 4-inch dryer vent hose by OREiN delivers a flexible, light-blocking duct solution for HVAC, laundry, grow tents, and ventilation projects. It comes as a 16-foot length that can be cut to size and aims to reduce fan noise while keeping air paths insulated for more consistent airflow and reduced temperature transfer.
Key Points
Designed with a three-layer construction, this duct combines two layers of aluminum foil with a PET insulation core and a steel wire helix. The outer black PVC layer blocks light and adds tear resistance, which is useful for light-sensitive setups and applications where durability matters. The hose is highly flexible, making routing through tight spaces straightforward, and it includes two duct clamps for secure connections. A built-in noise reduction feature helps lower inline fan and carbon filter noise by up to 50% according to the manufacturer, which can make indoor ventilation noticeably quieter. ⚙️
Technical Specifications
- Name: OREiN Dryer Vent Hose 4" x 16FT
- Diameter: - 4 inches
- Length: - 16 feet (single continuous piece)
- Construction: - Two layers of aluminum foil, PET insulation core, steel wire helix, outer black PVC layer
- Accessories included: - 2 duct clamps
Usage Recommendations
Cut the hose with scissors or a utility knife to the exact length you need, then secure each end with the supplied clamps for a tight fit. For HVAC and laundry setups route the duct with gentle curves rather than sharp bends to keep airflow efficient. For grow tents or light-sensitive environments the opaque outer layer prevents light leakage that could affect cycles. Keep in mind that while the insulation reduces heat transfer, extremely high-temperature exhausts may not be suitable without checking manufacturer guidance. 🔧🌿
Positive Aspects
The combination of insulation and an opaque outer jacket differentiates this duct from simple foil-only hoses by offering light blocking and added tear resistance. Noise attenuation built into the design can improve comfort in rooms with continuous fan operation. Because it is a continuous 16-foot piece you avoid multiple jointed segments, which simplifies installation and reduces potential leakage points.
