- Install dryer vent through wall siding - A new dryer vent should be installed on a vinyl siding. The challenge is to cut a hole (an 4 inch hole) without damage the vinyl. The video shows how to drill 4 inches hole using an hole saw and how to install a Dryer Vent properly using silicon to caulk and foam to seal the hole .

in 1 million years I never would’ve thought to go on reverse. I would’ve completely destroyed my vinyl. Thank you for sharing your tip with us. Subscribed.
reverse to start cut in thin material ... brilliant! exactly why I was looking for videos - to avoid tearing the vinyl siding edges at the cut.
Thanks so much for taking the time to record and post this.
Any time.
Thank you so much for making this video. The reverse cutting is a million dollar tip!!!
Any time
One important detail that you left out, (or I didn't catch it), is that you have to be aware of any studs within the aria of the hole you plan to cut in the wall. You don't want to start drilling in the wall and find out that there is a wall stud on the outer end of the hole saw.
You are correct I new exactly where the studs located. You need to make sure you don't cut the stud.
He Did say at some point to be clear of Studs, wiring and water pipes
@@josephk9182 This is fantastic Joseph! Exactly what I was looking for adding a couple vents I need for an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) for my condo in Chicago. They never designed these systems correct in the past, because there is no adequate ventilation in homes or condos. They designed more & more efficient (sealed) through the decades but did not take into account it then needs more ventilation.
Anyway great tips! Thanks again :)
@@MrBobbyfulmer Thank You.
The stud is where the electrical outlet is located. In his case just to the left of the vent hole
You Should use a Siding Block So you get a flush mount
exactly....
Thanks. I was wandering about that. It would be a much nicer finished look.
Thanks for making this video. I followed it pretty much step by step and everything worked great... The tip about using the drill in reverse was a lifesaver and kept me from cracking my new siding... Thanks again.
The cutouts on the side of the hole saw are for prying the plug out of the bit with a flat screwdriver
Had to read a few comments to be sure someone didn't already make this point....I was wondering why this gentleman didn't use the cutouts on the side of the tool to remove the material left in the hole saw.
Gotta love that flush fit.
After watching Your video, And the Critic's comments, I have enough information to tackle this project. Thanks For Posting!!
lol me too. some contractor wanted almost $600 bucks...no thanks!
I agree.
My son changed my dryer vent & using reverse to cut the hole for the vent went perfect.
Thanks for posting and the tip about running it backwards so not to break the siding! 👍👍
Any time.
Important tip: use a 4-1/4” hole saw.
A 4” will accommodate the 4” vent line, but will NOT take the base of the vent fitting which females over the end of the male vent line.
Thank for the tip.
Joseph! Thank you SO much for sharing your expertise! LOVE the tips about when to use hole saw in reverse! I'm a bit crippled, but really need washer & dryer on main level before I have surgery. Wondered if I could do the vent myself, and your video gave me the DETAILED instructions I needed to take this task on myself! I watched other videos first--this other guy put a 6" crack in his vinyl siding because he didn't know to cut it in reverse! He said "I'll do...something...about that later"...! I'm so glad I found your video. You really helped me! Thank you!
Thank You

Nice Video. Clearly explained. Was not aware of your 'trick' for cutting through thin or soft materials. - "Reverse the drill' when you start. The summary/recap at the end was a nice touch.
Thank You
Good tip about using the drill in reverse to cut vinyl and drywall.
Any time.
Very Helpful. Thank you!
Great video. It helped me install a dryer vent & I never did it before.
Looks good I dread doing mine ,good advice12 inches up(arkansas)
thank you as I need to do this to install my dryer.
Thank you for this video. It helped me greatly in installing a vent yesterday.
Very good
You should have used a siding mount kit for the exterior vent.
+PilotVBall
I just google it . You are correct there is siding mount kit for vinyl siding which was not in our local
HD and Low's . The foam and silicon sealed the vent to the vinyl got the same result.
Good video, nice technique. Only debit is that you should have used a trim piece on outside under the flapper to offset the vinyl siding.
You are correct. I instead used foam which is equivalent.
Good instructional video, thumbs up.
Thank You
Good work thank u. I learned something today.
Any time.
Nice work
Thank You.
Exactly what I was Looking for ! Thank you sooooo much for your video !!!
great video, thanks a lot!
Thank you
Beautiful.
thank you.
"Beautiful ..."
Thanks for the video.
Thank you
Thanks 🙏🏼
very helpful thanks
Someone needs to make a video about using a hole saw on aluminum siding. I'm reading that it's very different than cutting into softer materials like vinyl or wood.
I agree.
The hole cutting was great and you did a really nice job there, but that exterior installation of the duct and vent was absolutely awful. If you live in even a slight wet climate, it'll eventually fail and leak...quite apart from looking dreadful. Expanding foam on the outside as the only seal against water ingress on the sides? No! I really hate leaving negative comments when folk have taken the time to make and share a video, but the installation part of this is really not best practice.
It never happen and I am living in a wet environment.
Well what is the best practice then?
@@MrBobbyfulmer I installed a bathroom exhaust vent when finishing my basement -- similar to what he's doing here for this dryer vent installation. I cringed when I saw how he used great stuff to seal for two reasons:
1) Any great stuff I've used to patch up exterior holes on my house has eventually turned a dark orange and flaked away due to UV, heat, the elements in general -- this is true even when I've used it in areas that are never in direct sunlight. While great stuff is far better than nothing, if you go that route you should check the foam's integrity every few years and be prepared to claw away the failing foam with your utility knife and spray some more to replace it. This is the kind of annoying upkeep task that even a well-meaning homeowner can easily forget and if you sell the home the next owner is unlikely to ever think about.
2) He appeared to only seal about a half circle with the great stuff on each side. To get a true air seal you need to seal a full 360 degrees around the cutout. I could be wrong, maybe he did go 360 but I didn't see it.
For my project I used 100% silicone caulk around the entire circumference of the cutout on the exterior side and was liberal in applying it, giving it 48 hours+ to dry before I monkeyed with it any further. At that point I used great stuff -- the exact same kind of great stuff he has in this video -- to further seal it around the circumference of the cutout from the inside (which was hidden from sight in a joist bay above a drop ceiling).
Awesome vid. Thank you for the knowledge, brother.

Instead of using spay insulation on the exterior he should have used an All weather silicone caulk. Spray foam should NEVER be used to water proof your home. Using it in the interior like he did was fine but it was ridiculous of him to use it on the exterior.
While their are better methods, that also look a bit cleaner, using a combination of foam and silicone is usually sufficient to properly seal the hole for many years if done correctly. Of course no matter what method used, it always comes down to user application.
+Rick the Swift spray foam is for insulating. NOT weather proofing. Silicone should be used because it weatherproofs and is flexible so it moves with the expansion and contraction during temperature change. Foam simply does not.
@@chrisblack6331 I agree that there are better methods to seal the hole, such as using a siding block to get a flush finish and from there using silicone, however the combo ofexpanding foam and silicone as he did in this video is very effective and is a viable long term solution.
Is that accent israeli? And I love the alarm clock 😄
Joseph, Why do you use the drill in reverse rather than clockwise? Beautiful demonstration, by the way!
+Diane Gordon The rough teeth will jump if you drive it in forwards, especially in soft, thin materials like vinyl siding. Running it in reverse produces cleaner cut in vinyl and since it's a very thin, very soft material you can run it in reverse the entire cut. Running it in reverse on sturdier materials like the wood and sheet rock creates a starter groove to help keep it from jumping or walking.
+Diane Gordon Please see what Sentios wrote.
+Sentios Thanks for the answer
beautiful job! what kind of foam do you use?
+mrrainingforce
Foam called Great Stuff Caps & Cracks (Home Depot and Loews)

nice expensive hole saw, u didnt seal anything lower than the top of either hole though, to be honest its good enough for decades, hope your clientle is boomers, you deserve each other.
I sealed top and bottom , not everything is in the video.
Can the same hole saw size be used for drilling a hole for a microwave exhaust? Is it same diameter?
It should be the same dimeter and yes you can use this saw .
Just use silicone to seal the vent on outside of siding?
Thant what I did . Thanks
If you have insulted venting duct , how much should you make the hole diameter? Obviously 4 inch hole will not be enough
The diameter of the venting duck.
Drill the pilot hole first right?
Yes and make sure that in a 2" radius there are no water pipe, electricity and stud.
@@josephk9182 Right! So important to know what's inside the wall first...but also make sure to leave room for that big rectangle vent on the outside.
And also when drilling the pilot hole, make sure it has a slight downward pitch from inside to outside. This ensures that any moisture that condenses in it will run outside, and not into your dryer hose.

All good until you bare handed that insulation...Why would you do that?
Insulation was put as needed.
He should have said "if you have soft- girly hands, use gloves to touch this small amount of insulation"
Dont like the idea that insulation will be contacting the hot dryer vent line. Is this an issue ? Why not open drywall with 8in square area and install a barrier around vent line?&%#@??? Think its safer that way, but a but more time consuming.
There is no issue insulation will be contacting the hot dryer vent line. The insulation is fire resistant.
wow?
No mention of being careful not to drill through a electrical wire? Lol
You right I should say it.
I was digging the video until you placed the vent in so uneven. :( Why not add something behind it to prevent the gap ?
The gap is a result of the vinyl siding. I did put silicon and foam to seal this gap.
@@josephk9182 Hi Joseph, I think what the viewer is referring to is called a "siding block". They make ones which are formed to cover and fill the gaps in your vinyl siding, or alternatively you can make your own using a square block of wood.
To do this, you would simply cut away a square hole in your vinyl siding the size of the block (which should be greater than your vent cover).
Then using a little bit of flashing, you can install the block directly onto your sheathing, preferably sealing the two with silicone.
Then you can cut your 4" hole into that block to run your dryer vent through.
To be really thorough you would also line the siding with proper J-channel just as any other place where siding meets trim boards.
This way you have a perfectly flat surface to mount your vent cover too, and no water is able to penetrate into your wall from the outside.
Hope that helps :)
Great video too btw, it included some really good tips like using the hole saw to cut the insulation cleanly. I probably would have just hacked it with my knife. I'll try it your way now. Thumbs up.
Thanks a lot for the information.
Thank you for the excellent deonstration.
Any time.
