I just moved into my first apartment and bought an electric washer and dryer. Once I moved in I realized that there was no exhaust vent for my dryer. My maintenance man said to buy an indoor exhaust kit for my dryer from Lowe's (Lam bro Industries 4" x 5' Lama Flex Lint Trap Kit). Last night I hooked it up and followed the instructions but the amount of expelled moist air has me worried because the dryer is set up in my closet. Even though I set the kit in the bathroom, the air was so moist that it made the walls and door knobs wet in my bathroom and closet (since I can't shut the door with the hose in the doorway)
Since my bathroom is right next to my closet, my solution was to connect a 3 way pvc pipe to the top of the lint trap with one part going to the lint trap, the 2nd part from the dryer and the 3rd part with a screen attached and going to my bathroom fan. Here's a direct link to my plan if that helps http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l19/Diabolicalmoo/052063404752lg.jpg
Please let me know if any of you may have a better solution to the moisture problem or if my solution my pose any danger or if there might be a better way to vent out (a window is not an option) or if my solution violates any housing codes.
