Thank you, I did buy one of those and I still cant make it fit. Even took off a half inch of the pipe connectors with some tin snips trying to squeeze out every last inch of space but no luck.

New hole in floor saves me one 90 bend. My pipe runs a long way so that is significant. Very good advice, well taken. Thanks.

Thank you, I checked but this one has no side vent, plus it sits against a washer on one side and a sink on another.

> If it was me, I'd do it in my house if it was only a stud or two.
Agree. It's an internal wall. I don't think the house is going to tip over. Or I could just cut them off and support with cross beams as /u/6L6aglow suggests.

That is actually a great idea and I had to do it with one stud to fit the dryer box in.

How about I build a barn and move the damn dryer out there. Might be less work...

> It can come up through the floor of the platform, exactly where you need it.
Nope - platform or not, the dryer still vents out the back.

Very creative thinking, but I'm stuck with a laundry room that is simply too small. The back of the dryer must be up against the wall or laundry room door wont close. Next size down in dryer is a shoe box. Dryer can not vent out the side because it sits between washer and sink.
Thanks again.

> Any chance you could just leave the dryer (and possibly the washer) a pinch farther from the wall like normal people do in a situation like this?
I wish. Thanks for your reply.

Thank you - the problem is that the pipe behind the dryer has to be inside the wall (in a dryer box). To do that I have to re-orient the downpipe.
