I don't see how it could. There has to be a backdraft damper.

Re: Dryer vent roof jack
Ummm ... as far as the question goes "Can this roof jack be used to serve dryer vent?", the answer is 'Yes, it CAN be used for a dryer.'
BUT, it is *not supposed to be* used for a dryer.

Jim,
How come Jane didn't get that replaced for you when you bought that home?
Those CB agents.

I think it was the sorry inspector that missed it.
