Needs brackets I used the correct tape. Did its job. Pretty sturdy overall

This was perfect. I choose this one instead of the uncontrollable standard slinky snake sold everywhere. My dryer vent is in the floor and the simiridgid hose kept a neat colum for stacking the W/D. Pros Streches well while maintaining shap and no puddle of sinding hose to try and contain. Con it is fradgle so dont be too agressive while instaling.

Works great, for perfect in my situation, well made
