Tumble Dryer Venting Kit

[DanLonsdale]

Afternoon all,

I'm planning on venting my Tumble Dryer thru the wall, the kit I have purchased recommends drilling a 112mm hole, I have a 107mm core drill bit - will that suffice?

I know Screwfix sell a 117mm bit for £23 if my 107mm it's large enough.

Thanks in advance

I cannot 100% guarantee it will be ok because of the different manufacturer recommendation , but I would be surprised if it did not fit.

Thanks JJ, I'm planing to give it a go at the weekend so within a week I'll know either way!

Thanks

Can you fit the pipe which'll be going through the hole you're about to make inside of the core bit you're planning to make the hole with?

If so, no problem. But if you end up with a hole right through your wall which turns out to be too small it'll be tricky to enlarge it cleanly. You won't be able to simply run the bigger size core through coz you won't have any way to support the guide drill.
