We constantly see the rules about dryer duct safety and dryer transition ducts being brought into question, mostly on home inspector forums. If it's tough for home inspectors to keep this stuff straight, it's gotta be really tough for average homeowners. These are the rules for Minnesota. These rules come from section 504 of the 2020 Minnesota Mechanical Code. If you're in a different part of the country where you use the International Residential Code, check out section M1502. The rules are nearly identical. This is not a complete list of those rules but a list of the most commonly violated ones.
