I sorry, I probably wasn’t clear so I am looking for a Rear Left exhaust. My current dryer has a Rear Center exhaust hooked in through rectangular periscope type connection to get it over to the left. | ||

 Probably none. My exhaust is also too close to the left, at a corner (straight shot out an exterior wall). I can't shove the dryer into the left wall to center it on the exhaust so I have it set at an angle. Otherwise the ducting is flexed at a sharp offset which obstructs the airflow enough to be a problem. | ||

Periscopic Dryer Vent Would a flat, adjustable-length vent work for you? Most say something like adjustable between 24 inches to 41 inches--seems to me it could be cut down to shorter if need be. CLICK HERE TO GO TO jaums's LINK | ||

those periscope vents come in a variety of sizes, can be cut, and flipped for both ports to exit the same direction, as in it will get you to the corner, and then additional piping would connect it to the outside vent....the configurations can be endless for a number of applications...
one dryer I used it on had a flat back, so I removed one of the ports and fastened it direct to the machine... | ||

I think the idea here is to get the dryer as flat to the wall as possible. Maybe just use a side vent option and leave a gap to what ever is next to it. If it is next to the washer you could get a slim shelf kind thing that has 4 feet and the vent runs under the lowest level. Would save some if the "wasted" space. A picture of your setup could be helpfull. | ||

Left Rear Vent Full Sized Dryers Reply # 1, Thats what I was suggesting a vent that goes out the left side.
If you want the dryer tight to the side wall you may have to dissemble the dryer and pull the aluminum flex into the machine and then connect it.
You can not move the machine without taking the machine apart, I did one of these hook-ups a few weeks ago in a kitchen and I screwed the machine to the floor so no one could move it and destroy the duct connection.

I even seen set-ups where they built a platform for the dryer sit on, and vented out the right, down under the platform, and out the left hand side for connection to the outside....
you might even find raising the dryer giving you better access for loading/unloading with less bending... anything is possible.... | ||

Ventless?
Last June we were buying a new Washer and Dryer. I was considering a ventless electric dryer and the stories told here about 3 hour drying times and who knows what else almost gave me pause but I went with it anyway because this best suited my needs in the laundry room. Well I have seen none of these issues and I am very happy with it.
Is that an option for you? Mine can be pushed almost all the way against the wall. | ||
