The entire run is steel 4 " pipe/elbows except the flex pipe going from the dryer through the floor. The flex pipe is probably 2 ' long but makes two turns in that 2 ' I believe that is the most restriction in the run. I just need to get off my butt and reroute it to the front of the house. I may install a tee where the flex pipe comes through the floor, my thoughts are maybe I can pop a cap off the tee and run a vacumn cleaner hose up from the basement to clean out the flex pipe. As I get older my desire to wrestle the dryer is less and less
