That is not the way most dryers are installed. The dryer comes with a flexible duct and a metal band clamp to secure it to the outside of the permanent metal exhaust duct. If you try to put the flexible duct inside of the exhaust duct it is too large to fit, and even if you get it inside, how do you secure it?
