Dryer-Ell 90 Degree Long-turn Elbow

Great Product, just what I needed.

Yes, the flanges can be a problem. This can be remedied with screws and foil tape. Otherwise, if you have the space to use this elbow, it will improve dryer performance.

It's a simple solution to reduce back flow pressure and improve run length. What could stand improvement: 1) The sliding tabs were not cut long enough so the two halves were off by 1/4" when assembled. 2) There is still a lot of air leakage in the seams after final assembly. A little more thought could go into the seam design.

IRC building code allows a 35 foot maximum on dryer vents. I am at 33' 6" thanks to the Dryer-Ell. A regular 90-degree elbow would have cost me a 5-foot penalty which would have put me over. The installation was a snap, and I like the idea of having the smooth corner as this run goes up 12 feet before turning towards the outside wall. No worries about lint getting backed up in the traditional elbow. Great product with fast shipping. Thanks.

This duct although expensive solves problems with installation and then keeping the ducts clean. Someone installed corrugated duct for a 25 foot run. Using the long turn elbow from this company and smooth interior pipe clogs should be a thing of the past.

I installed the LT90 90 Degree Long-Ell following the installation instructions on the internet. All the components went together with no problem, the installation look good and I expect it to last for many years. I would recommend this component since I have a rather long run and these Ell's saved me 8 feet of duct.

I bought this to go with the "downbox" dryer box. It also comes with a downbox kit, which I would have purchased had I known about it at the time. It's a little tricky to assemble for a novice like me, but it is of the same high quality of other venting products I have purchased from DryerBox.com. It is made of heavy duty metal, not thin materials.

Recent purchase. HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT and EASY INSTALLATION

I'm sold on the concept of the long smooth wall sweeping ell having less flow resistance and therefore being better for a dryer vent. This product does accomplish that goal and is better than the standard adjustable ell that is commonly available. Trouble with it is that it comes in two pieces, and they don't fit together particularly well. It took a lot of fiddling with it to get the two pieces together right, then I ended up drilling holes in the flanges so I could rivet the sides together for a tighter fit. Even with that I had to seal every seal with foil tape to prevent unacceptable leakage. It did the job, but it is unlikely that I would buy it again.

It does just what it was made for. We cut 4" from our dryer run so we made it @ 23'. We had no problems with the inspection. Thanks!

First off, Dryerbox is a great company, with awesome customer service. I have a long run that required 4 standard elbows to make the 90 degree turns. But I could never get my vent brush past them and the flow was minimal. These long turn ells are the cat jammas. I couldn't be more happy. The vent blows nicely and there is no more lint build up that I had with the standard elbows. I highly recommend thes or any dryerbox products. Check out the videos on youtube for yourself. AAA+++

Fantastic elbow as long as you have room for it. Used it on a downward vent to the outside, a marked improvement in air movement as evidenced at the exterior outlet, it’s that obvious. Highly recommend, just make sure you you have room.

Does not piece together well and is not sealed at seams. The parts did not align up well either and thus it was hard to get together.

I recently remodeled my laundry room and stacked my washer/dryer. That required moving the driver vent and so I also replaced the ~20yr old venting in place. I have a 25' run down to the crawl and out. Previously it had a 90degree and 2 other kinks. Now it has the 90degree long-turn ell and a straight run. The difference is amazing. The dryer is done so quick we think it must not have finished, but everything is dry. We used to have to run it twice for towels and blankets and now even stuff balled up in a sheet is dry. highly recommend

Very low resistance for an elbow and easy to clean but be sure to wear heavy gloves when assembling as the edges are quite sharp.

This is a great product. My wife and I are currently building a new home (building it ourselves) and the laundry room is on an interior wall. Only when we started to run the dryer vent did we discover the difficulty in meeting the 35' length limit, especially after subtracting 5' for every (we had 3) 90 degree elbow. The solution: use the long turn ell to replace the 90 degree celing elbow combined with the dryer box to eliminate the elbow at dryer. The combination allowed us to reroute the vent so no additional elbows were required and straight shot out the rear gable. Great solution for tricky situation.

Great! I installed snap together dryer pipe in the wall to the dryer and it just clears the ceiling studs in the attic. the Dryer-Ell gives the length and clearance to make the 90 deg turn in the attic without adding splices and it gives a gradual downward slope to the outside for condensation to naturally flow outside. The flow at the dryer vent is excellent avoiding an expense booster fan. In summary, it solved 3 big problems for me with just the design. Great product.

I replaced my 4 regular 90* with 3 long turn ells and kept a regular 90* on the dryer and it cut the dry time in half!

Finally a great product at a reasonable price. I used two of them on my attic dryer run along with the flush mount dryer vent. Solved a problem with moisture accumulating in my dryer as my house was built before the requirement for back flow preventers.

This is a great product that greatly reduces flow inefficiencies associated with a typical 90 degree bend. I like how the inside is perfectly smooth which does not disrupt air flow. A few things I think they could improve upon: Even when the product is assembled with screws, a small gap will remain at the joints. To counter this, I used many small pieces of foil tape to completely seal it, which is tedious. Perhaps they could include a gasket or pre-cut foil pieces that curve nicely along the bend. If they have a different method or best practices on how to close the gap, I would love to hear about it. I think the limited distribution of this product is really holding the company back. Not only is the price high, but it's also inconvenient to only purchase it through their online store. This is a great product and should be offered at every big box retailer. Hopefully once they start increasing their production volume, they can reduce their units costs.

The LT 90 has been a terrific add-on to my dryer exaust line. Although my exaust line set up is enhanced by an "in-line" Flo-Tech Dryer Booster Fan, which is located towards the end of the exaust line run (my run is about 42' in total length), the over all efficiency has definitely increased by the addition of this elbow. Easy to assemble and install, this elbow is worth every penny!

These sweep elbows are great. Solved a tough problem for me. Easy to assemble & install. Not available in stores here but this vendor ships extremely fast - I had my order within 36 hours. Thanks for a job well done.

Local building codes changes showed a flaw in our design on a location of the laundry in our project. These elbow reduced the run length enough to pass the inspection and keep the project on time.

Works as designed. The two halves of the pipe still have a bit of a gap between them even after screwing together. I'll have to use some duct seem sealer or the like. Only other option would be welded pipe which is really expensive.

Great idea but the stamping process is not up to par. Both ends were deformed enough that male to female connections were loose and difficult to secure. Screws and rivets didn't pull it together very well. I would buy again,just hope the stampings improve.
