Luke R. Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 I am trying to install a dryer vent to a new location in my house. The current one is too long. The best spot for it to go would have it exit my house right next to an outdoor electrical outlet. It would be about 3 inches away from it. Is there any issue with it being so close to the outlet? Im worried about the moist air affecting the outlet. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingless Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Welcome to the forum. Doesn't that exterior receptacle have a sealed protective cover? If not, then it should be covered. My southern Florida / salt water canal experience is that exterior receptacles require replacement every 5-10 years from corrosion. The spring loaded door covers require replacement every 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke R. Posted November 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks! I dont think the cover is sealed so I will probably have to replace that. Once it is sealed I agree that it should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
