the flex portion of this is small, but it does exist. On a more local level, several of our local jurisdictions do not allow ANY type of flex pipe on dryer installations. I am not saying it couldn’t be a positive and solid connection, magnets can be used quite effectively, but it appears more that because it isn’t listed, that means its application has not necessarily been properly vetted.įurther in sub section 4.3 of same, it refers to an overlap of at least 1 inch, this product does not appear to create that, I would be most concerned practically in a gas dryer application where you have more potential for gasses (CO) to enter the living space. They are fairly specific in what is approved, and nothing in there would indicate to me that a magnetic coupling would meet their definitions. As for the IRC, I would be most concerned about sub section 4.2, and its reference to “mechanical” connection and the subsequent definition of that in 1601.4.1. I agree, the idea is certainly interesting.
