How to Cut a Dryer Vent in a Brick Wall

By Home & Garden Last updated Friday, May/24/2024

1). Lay out the location of the center of your dryer vent opening inside the home. Insert a 1/4-inch drill bit into your drill and drill through the plywood layer. Insert a 1/4-inch hammer drill bit into your hammer drill and drill the rest of the way through the brick.
2). Draw a 4 1/4-inch circle on the brick outside, using the hole as your center point.
3). Drill holes on the edge of the circle spaced 1/2 inch apart all the way around with your hammer drill.
4). Place your chisel on the line and strike it with your hammer. Work your way around the circle and eventually the 4 1/4-inch brick circle will fall out. Clean up the hole with your hammer and chisel.
5). Insert your 4 1/4-inch hole saw into your drill and finish drilling through into the inside of the home.
