Slack on hose and venting for washer and dryer
Home Improvement Asked by Tom Rossmeissl on December 1, 2020
In our cottage have a large coat-closet near our front door — the only place we could put a stacked washer/dryer. Plumbing is already nearby and it shares exterior wall (to place vent).
The problem: the washer/dryer would need to go above the access panel hatch into crawl space. We will only need to access that crawl space about once-per-year.
The question: Can we put the washer/dryer on wheels and keep an extra few feet of slack on the hose/vent to be able to pull it out (in order to access the crawl space) without needing to disconnect everything?
One Answer
Yes. There are even products made for this. Its important to have locking wheels (even if you only ever lock the front two that you can access) 
As to adding some slack for the hose, remember that this will effect drying efficiency and add additional spaces for lint/socks to accumulate which can become a safety/fire issue. Is it possible to rig a quick disconnect for the hose? this would also allow for annual cleaning of the hose:
