The transition hose is the vent that connects the back of your dryer to the wall behind your dryer. The transition hose is typically some sort of a slinky type hose that will flex. A transition hose that is within code will be made of metal, typically aluminum. If your transition hose is made of plastic, nylon, or some other non-metal, then your transition hose may not be up to code, and is at risk of contributing to a dryer fire. Some aluminum transition hoses have too much flex, which can lead to the hose folding up and blocking air flow.
Vent-tastic carries and installs a brand of transition hose that is crush resistant and fire resistant. Vent-tastic dryer vent cleaning includes a free inspection of your transition hose and will recommend replacement if required.
