My dryer vents through a 4x4 glass block and the current set up is not insulated or sealed, so this is my solution. 

Required parts:

  • Can of spray foam (to insulate the inside)

  • 8x M3 heat press inserts

  • 8x M3 shoulder screws

  • Silicone (for sealing)

Assembly:

  1. Use a soldering iron to press in the 8 M3 inserts into the housing shell.

  2. Install one of the covers and secure with 4 M3 screws. 

  3. Install your section of pipe through the shell.

  4. Spray foam inside the housing body to seal and insulate around the pipe.

    1. Do not overfill if using expanding foam. 

    2. If foam expands outside the dimensions of the housing, use a razor blade to shave down the foam until you're able to easily fit both covers on.

  5. Install the second cover and secure with 4 M3 screws.

  6. Install the hosing with pipe into 4x4 opening and shim to align.

  7. Use silicone to seal the housing in place. 

  8. Install the vent cap and rest of the piping to complete connection to dryer.
