[C320-list] Fwd: Holding Vent Hose Replacement

[jim brown]

Most hole saw mandrels (I think that's what they are called) will accept 2 hole saws. Pick out one the size of the new hole and put it on the mandrel first followed by one that matches the size of the original hole. The smaller one will poke out a little. Put that in the existing hole as a guide and drill out the new hole. Worked for me although not in fiberglass. 

I too went to a larger vent and it worked well. However, my hole was in a different place behind the medicine cabinet high up and I could only fit in a vent with a right angle. I would look at your set-up before buying a replacement vent.

Jeff, 

I saw in your previous posts that you had to enlarge the hole slightly
to fit the new vent. Did you use a large drill bit or a hole saw, and if
so how did you keep it centered since there was already a large hole
there? 

Thanks,
