Reply to comment by salmon_vandal in Ok to run dryer pipe through 2x6 studs? by the_other_sam

New hole in floor saves me one 90 bend. My pipe runs a long way so that is significant. Very good advice, well taken. Thanks.

bonus if the floor is in an unfinished basement and can let the hosing hang from the floor joists.

One 90 is not insignificant, but probably not the end of the world. If your run is especially long, consider adding a small booster fan somewhere. Some other commenter’s solution of backframing to accommodate the duct would work too, but sounds like it might be more work…

Either way, good luck to you sir!

There are also dryers that advertise as "good for long vents" that have fans more suited to longer complex runs. I have a GE model and they are superior.
