Which term refers to a short duct that connects the dryer outlet to the main exhaust duct?

• A. Transition Duct
• B. Vent
• C. Duct
• D. Venting System

Answer: (A)

The transition duct is the short piece that links the dryer's outlet to the main exhaust duct. It serves as the connector between the appliance and the building’s broader exhaust path, typically being a short, straight run of metal with a smooth interior to minimize lint buildup and airflow resistance. A vent refers to the exterior opening where air leaves the building, a duct is any air conduit within the system, and a venting system describes the entire arrangement from dryer to outside. So the transition duct best fits as the specific short connector between the dryer and the main duct.
