Description

Paintable galvanized metal lint trap for dryer boosting applications. Use when duct length between dryer and booster fan is less than 15 feet (when you position the fan this close to the dryer, it may pull lint from the dryer. At greater distances, lint stays in the dryer and you do not need a trap). Fits 4-inch duct. Features pull out door with view window and removable lint filter for easy cleaning.

A MUST needed Extra Lint Trap

I had a problem where lint from my dryer was passing the initial dryer filter and getting into my 16 foot dryer duct. Causing clothes to dry poorly due to dryer duct partially clogged. Not anymore after i installed this secondary Lint Trap. What Lint passes by my dryer filter will now get trapped in this New inline duct Lint Trap. I installed it 6 feet away from my dryer. It is easily accessible and easy for me to clean. Now no more worries of having 16 feet of dryer duct clogged. This Lint trap gets it before going into the in wall duct. This will prevent any dryer vent fires, and my dryer performs 100% keeping clothes nice and dry. I highly recommended this Lint Trap. It took me 17 years of yearly dryer duct cleaning to finally get this Trap. Now my dryer ducts remain Lint Free. Ofcourse you must manually open and remove lint from dryer trap after 3 uses or more. It has a clear plastic window and you can see when there is Lint inside the trap. Super Convenient. Get one and see for your self. Install is so easy. Cut into dryer 4inch exhaust vent and install inline. Ofcourse at a location that is easily accessible. Good luck!

Could be much better.

This lint trap was recommended by Fantech because my booster fan is located 5 feet from my dryer. There were no recommended installation instructions. Just the the trap and the box. I wall mounted the trap using E-Z anchors in the drywall. It looks okay but the lint filter's fit into the trap box is so tight that I'm afraid I will eventually pull the trap box off the wall. It may loosen with time but for now it is an exercise to remove the filter after every load. I would recommend instead of using friction to secure the filter in the trap box, to use clips or clasps that will provide a secure fit and at the same time allow a loose enough fit to the box without fear of ripping the trap box off the wall and or destroying the ducting. There are few options on this. I may take it off and have it modified with clasps and have the fit modified as well.

Good product

The product is very well made . Filter fits snug inside the housing for a good fit. Easy to install and provides a secondary filter to keep lint out of the duct work, I bought two of these one for my house and one for my daughters condo.She just move in and had a big problem with lint build up so we brushed the ducts out and the lint trap is working extremely well.Definitly something I would recommend not only from a safety stand point but also a maintenance stand point. I still intend to inspect the duct connecting to the dryer for build up on a yearly basis but the rest of the duct work should be fine.

CATCH CAN

Bought this w/ Dryer Booster Fan, my fan was a replacement. I bought the catch / lint trap because when I cleaned the duct, I pulled a bunch of lint out of the duct. Problem w/ lint catch can, the Booster Fan wasn't receiving enough "vacuum" to turn on automatically. I did call 800 line, very helpful but I couldn't get the Booster fan to come on automatically because the trap was allowing dryer exhaust to escape. In the end removed the trap and bought a new dryer duct to replace the cut I made and installed the lint catch. This was well above my skill level and took multiple trips to 2 hardware stores to buy a 2 new dryer ducts. I learned about retail duct vs. buying from a commercial supplier (smaller hardware store / supplier) w/ duct much easier to clamp together. The second duct I bought was much easier to install vs buying from the larger hardware chain. I wanted to install the lint catcher because it would have been easier to clean the duct work, but in the end I couldn't get enough vacuum for the booster fan so I removed the lint catch and replaced w/ the duct work I bought from the smaller supplier.

It works, but could be designed better

I installed in the wall just above the dyer. It is much smaller then I expected, and needs to be changed often. the screen is pretty flimsy, I'm afraid of bending it every time I clean it. finally there are not brackets for installation. I had to spend time framing it in for stability.

Q: Does this unit seal lint and dryer dust from blowing back into the room? How does this unit mount to the wall? Are screws included to mount to sheetrock wall. I do have an existing lint trap, cheaply made, I am not happy with.

The unit does not seal the dust from going onto the wall, I have added 2 clamps to keep it tight. The trap does not fit perfectly between existing walls, its stick out past the sheetrock approximately an inch to inch and a half. Bill

It can be mounted but didn't come with any screws and you would have to drill holes in the unit. It is a bit cumbersome but does a goo job. It does trap all of the lint that the dryer misses with a screen that is easily cleaned. I would buy it again. Sent from my iPad

Nothing leaks around the unit. The unit is a pass though design meaning a vent pipe is connected to dryer and the other end of that pipe is connected to the trap. Then an additional pipe is connected to the other side of the trap and that pipe is vented outside. It does a great job at catching lint but the screen inside the trap will require cleaning every 4-7 loads depending on material being dried, therefore it needs to be placed where you can access it easily. It has no screws in the box but you can just screw it to whatever you want. If you are capable of installing the pipe your capable of screwing it to the wall.

Unit works well, prevents lint from leaking into room The unit mounts on the vent pipe. No need to fasten to wall if pipe is rigid. No hardware is included.

Q: 1) Does this include the screen? 2) Do you sell replacement retention clips to attache the door to the box? (long metal prongs) 3) My unit was made in 2008, it has a knob on the door, not a handle. Is this the same item?

I can tell you the filter box come's with a filter and fit's a 4" pipe, not sure about replacement parts. I installed my unit in November of 2011 and nothing has broken on it. Joe

The box is 8" deep and would stick out in to the room. It leaks a lot of lint and let's too much lint get through it. My roof gets covered. Good luck.

The box is a little over 7" deep and even if some of it sticks out of the wall, it would be a tight fit even in a 2" x 6" wall. So I guess the answer is no. I have mine mounted on the wall and it does help keep the duct from getting dirty for a much longer time.

Q: Will this item work without the fan boost, another words can you use it by itself to catch lint in line between the dryer and the vent out?

Asked by blane 14 years ago

You can use it: it's just a filter that sits in the duct run. But it may not be needed. The trap is designed to capture lint pulled up by fans placed within 15 feet of the dryer. Without a fan in place, there likely wouldn't be much lint making it up there.
