How much clearance should I need for a tumble dryer vent?

I am installing a new utility room and intend to have a vented tumble dryer next to the wall. How much clearance should I plan to have between the dryer the wall to allow for the vent to be attached. The vent needs to be to the side of the dryer. I’ll be using a converter kit so it should be the rectangle hose which is approx 110mm x 54mm opening which needs to be attached I’m really trying to maximise space to fit everything in. My goals are trying to fit in the tumble dryer (595mm), a washing machine (595mm) 2 18mm panels for aesthetics, hopefully a 300mm wide cupboard and a large fridge freezer (912mm) and have 100 mm clearance in a space which is 2540. Meaning At present, the measurements give me 102mm. I could reduce to a 200mm cupboard but would prefer the larger one. submitted by /u/limelee666 [link] [comments]
