Dryer Vent Question

[Greatwhitewing]

Second story in-law style addition attached to existing home. I can come out with a dryer vent about 5 feet, horizontally, from a bedroom window either close to floor level, near ceiling level or somewhere in the middle. Window is at right angle to wall and close to the corner so in view from window.

I have a choice to come out low and less visible or higher with less moist heat getting near window.

Washer/dryer unit has exhaust port about 3.5 feet up and in the middle of the combo washer/dryer unit.

Height of exit is my only choice as I see it without a lot of extra work/expense and much longer duct run. It's pretty much a straight run horizontally of about 6 feet from laundry closet to outdoors

The rule I've heard is 3 feet, but your local code may vary. Also see:

I get what you mean. Billowing clouds of steam isn't a nice view, but that only happens in the winter around here.

Long climb up to clean the critter screen....

Along with 66cj's answer you might put it close enough to open the window and clean the outdoor cover.
