“For a 32 in deep space would the periscope vent be required or would the standard vent tubing have enough room?”

We had to purchase a Foil Flex Duct which is fully flexible. The semi-flexible duct and the periscope would not work for ours. The semi-flexible duct would not allow our dryer to sit close enough to the wall. The small periscope type we had for our old dryer would have worked but it became bent when the delivery guys tried to install it. They could not do it so we did it ourselves and due to the bend in the duct a lot of hot air was coming out of it into the closet. The stores around us did not have a periscope duct as short as we needed. Our dryer is located in a laundry closet so we were limited on space. The closet is 32" deep but we only have about 30" to work with due to the trim around the doorway. The Foil Flex Duct was the best option for us and we do not have any air leaking out from the duct into the house. The air is all going out of the vent like it should. We could not get the fully flexible duct from Best Buy. We had to go to Home Depot and it cost a lot less than the semi-flexible duct that Best Buy sold us. The only other purchase we had to make were the clamps to attach the duct to the dryer and to the vent. The clamps are also very inexpensive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have limited space for venting but the flex hose works great even though the vent flows up over 80” to my outdoor vent
