Protect the vent path
Help keep the dryer from pressing against its vent hose in resident homes. Include spacing checks alongside vent inspection and cleaning.
Practical dryer spacing for public housing
Help protect residents.
Start behind the dryer.
Give your housing authority a practical way to address crushed dryer vents. SafeStop helps keep dryers away from the wall, preserving space for the vent hose in the homes your team maintains.

A practical addition to your housing maintenance program
One small detail.
Across many resident homes.
Across a housing portfolio, dryer layouts and appliance placement can vary from unit to unit. SafeStop gives maintenance staff a physical standoff to help address vent-hose compression as part of routine inspections, work orders, and unit turnovers.
Address spacing proactively
Check dryer positioning during internal inspections and address compressed vent hoses before formal property reviews.
Build a repeatable routine
Use a consistent approach across compatible units. Start with one development, then incorporate installation into scheduled maintenance and turnovers.
One product. Two mounting options.
Two options for
your maintenance crew.
SafeStop uses a pair of brackets to maintain a six-inch gap behind the dryer. Choose the mounting approach appropriate for the appliance and the wall.
1
Wall mount
Secure the brackets to suitable wall structure using appropriate fasteners.
2
Magnetic dryer mount
Attach the brackets to a compatible dryer back using the pre-attached magnets.
Confirm fit and follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions. SafeStop does not replace proper vent installation, cleaning, inspection, or required maintenance.

Questions from housing teams
Before your authority orders.
Planning for several developments?
We're here to help.
How many brackets does each dryer need?
Use two SafeStop brackets per dryer for balanced positioning.
Will SafeStop fit every dryer and laundry space?
Check your dryer, mounting surfaces, vent route, and available space before ordering. Contact us to discuss your layout and which mounting method may be appropriate.
Does SafeStop replace vent maintenance?
No. Continue routine vent cleaning, inspection, and maintenance, and follow the dryer's installation requirements.
Does it guarantee an inspection pass?
No. SafeStop addresses dryer spacing. Overall compliance and inspection outcomes depend on the complete installation and applicable requirements.
How can our housing authority request a quote?
Send your housing authority’s name, contact person, estimated dryer count, development locations, and desired timing. Include quotation and vendor-documentation requirements so we can discuss pricing and next steps with your purchasing team.
