Will duct tape catch fire on an electric dryer vent?

Duct tape is not recommended for use on electric dryer vents, as it can catch fire due to the high heat generated during operation.

It's safer to use metal tape or clamps specifically designed for dryer vent installations to ensure proper ventilation and reduce fire hazards. Always prioritize safety and follow manufacturer guidelines for dryer venting.

Where can you find hypafix tape?

Amazon has a large selection and a couple medical supply outlets carry it also. Have to Google it. I have not run into it at any of my local pharmacy, like Rite-Aid/Walgreen's. I have not asked since I buy mine from Amazon but most pharmacy or drug store chains can order-in most items. Get the number from Amazon and take the upc or model number to your local store and see if they can order it in. Also your Dr's office might be able to order it for you and then it can be covered under insurance or sometimes if you have a procedure done at the Dr's office it is all covered and they can give you the "left over" or unused portion that you are paying for anyways! I know a diabetic that gets wound care and they loa her up on all sorts of stuff they can't use on another patient and since she paid for it it is all legit and saves her a lot of money on buying wound care supplies.
