is level from side to side and front to rear.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT
> In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer
to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil- type) duct. A UL-listed
flexible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLY in installations
where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be
used AND where a 4" diameter can be maintained throughout the
entire length of the transition duct.
> In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal (foil-type)
ducts that comply with the “Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition
Duct Subject 2158A” shall be used.
> Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other
enclosed spaces.
> Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet (2.4m).
> Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
>
For best drying performance:
