Re: Need help with code reference
M1501 of the IRC it states that the dryer exhaust piping is to terminate per the dryer manufacturer's specifications. I am quite certain the dryer manufacturer does not specify a B-vent termination cap for the end of the dryer exhaust system.

Obviously that vent termination cap is not intended to be used to terminate a clothes dryer exhaust. That is a use inconsistent with its Listing and Labeling. There is also a presumption in the code that something like a Listed and labeled B-vent termination cap is going to be used for the purpose its manufacturer intended.
