Brand Spotlight: Snap-to-Vent Dryer Connectors
April 29, 2017 - posted by Jerica ParkerWhat is the most frustrating thing about installing your dryer? For me, it’s all the hoses and attachments, and then, getting them to fit in the laundry room without crushing them.
Even more frustrating is how awkward it is to try to lean over your dryer with the hose clamp and screwdriver to install or clean the ventilation hose.
Luckily for you, and for me, Ziggurat Products came up with a solution to our problem. Snap-to-Vent connectors make this job quick and easy!
How the Snap-to-Vent system Works
When pushing your dryer back against the wall, sometimes the hose can be crushed and this prevents necessary ventilation. Both Snap-to-Vent’s products prevent against crushed dryer hoses and are super easy to install.
The best part about Ziggurat Products company is that it’s local, right here in Kaysville, Utah! Check out the Snap-to-Vent 90-Degree and Snap-to-Vent Straight connections on SmithandEdwards.com.
If your Clothes Dryer vents straight to the duct: Straight Connector
If your dryer duct and wall duct are relatively close together, you will want the Snap-to-Vent Straight design connector. This is an easy connection for installing your dryer, and if you ever need to take it back apart for maintenance or cleaning. Simply pre-connect Snap-to-Vent Straight before you go behind your dryer for installation. Place the snap connector over dryer hose with tines on the inside of the hose. Take the straight and place it so that the tines push against the hose holding the connector tight to the dryer hose. Take the seal ring and either put it around the duct or in the straight and press into the duct until it creates an air tight seal. Easy enough!
If your Clothes Dryer hose has to vent on another wall, use the 90° Elbow
The Snap-to-Vent 90-degree Elbow connection helps to avoid smashing your hose by connecting the hose at a 90-degree angle to your dryer. It comes with easy instructions: Pre-assemble the hose to the snap connector and the snap connector into the 90-degree elbow and snap together. Take the seal ring and pre install onto dryer or wall duct and press the 90 elbow into the dryer duct or wall duct. And voila! The elbow connector can push right up against the wall and still keep your hose protected and working how it should.
Having a clean and clear vent reduces the risk of fires and improves the efficiency of your dryer. With no tools necessary and less time and confusion during installation, how could you not love Snap-to-Vent!

Brand Spotlight: 360 Electrical – It’s Electric!
March 16, 2017 - posted by EmmaLee SessionsTangled cords can give you a headache. Whether it’s your phone charger, your laptop cords, or a curling iron, tangled cords gets really annoying. 360 Electrical is an innovative company with a solution… and we carry their products right here at Smith and Edwards.
360 Electrical started in 2005 with a desire to make things better. It’s privately owned by a Utah native right here in Salt Lake City. Her creative genius has changed the way we look at electrical outlets.
The Meaning of 360
The power cords made by 360 Electrical feature a unique swivel feature. The design allows the electrical outlet to spin freely as a cord gets twisted. Your cord is able to unwind as it’s twisted, thus reducing the amount of tangling your cord can do.
The swivel feature also allows cords to travel to any location in a room with minimal strain on the prongs.
Have a charger that doesn’t fit next to other cords on a power strip? With the Powercurve power strip, you can swivel the outlet so they’ll fit neatly!
360 Electrical Powercurve Surge Protector & USB Charger
Not only has 360 changed our perception of traditional outlets, but they have also changed our vision of modern technologies. Many of their power cords feature USB ports for cell phone chargers, too.
Whether you need one outlet or several outlets, 360 Electrical has you covered!
What’s in Store
Smith and Edwards carries several of 360 Electrical’s products. Keep your electronics safe from power surges with the 4-outlet REVOLVE and 6-outlet Powercurve.
Power your blow dryer, flat iron, his razor, and have an outlet to spare!
The 4-outlet Adapter is perfect for standard outlets in your bedroom or bathroom. The PowerCurve Mini and PowerCurve 7-Outlet plugs are equipped with two 1-amp USB chargers and are surge protected as well.
How We Can Help
Whatever your power needs may be, you can find a solution right here at Smith and Edwards. Shop these great products in store or check them out right here on smithandedwards.com! We’ve got what you need and are here to help with all of your electrical needs.
Brand Spotlight: Hanging Out with Grand Trunk and Enjoying the Klymit
March 10, 2017 - posted by EmmaLee SessionsToday, we are going to talk about one of my favorite things… Camping! We have two camping essentials that are going to knock your socks off and leave you wishing you could “head for the hills” right now.
Sleep… What’s That?
In a recent conversation Mike Vause, sporting goods manager, told me that sleep is an important aspect that is constantly overlooked when camping, hiking, or otherwise enjoying the outdoors. Mike said, “You may have to [fill in the blank].” (Get to the next ridge; land that next catch; bag the elk that has eluded you the last two days; etc.)

When you add the Grand Trunk® Hammocks and Klymit® sleeping pads to your gear list you’ll have the ability to set up camp anywhere there’s trees. Giving you the chance to catch the required Z’s to help you successfully “fill in YOUR blank.” Let’s take a minute now to look at my favorite bed: the hammock.
Shop our great selection of sleeping pads and air mattresses.
Time to Hang Out and Chill Out
Hammocks are a fairly recent trend that everyone, especially the younger generation, is going crazy about. We carry a variety of brands and sizes, but my favorite brand that we carry is (you guessed it) Grand Trunk®. Made out of the same nylon material as parachutes, these hammocks are strong and durable. They come in a few different colors and patterns. So we are sure to have one that fits your style.

My favorite thing about hammocks is their versatility. Whether you’re going on a day trip, a 50-mile hike, a 3-day hunting weekend, or just a trip to your backyard, you always have a lightweight, portable resting place that takes minutes to set up and enjoy. The Grand Trunk double hammock weighs only 2 lbs and can hold up to 400 lbs, so it is easy to enjoy with a friend or by yourself. Plus, at 10′ 6″ long by 6′ 6″ wide, there is no way you could go wrong.
Shop our growing selection of hammocks right here, or give us a call so see what all we have to offer!

Recently I set a goal to go camping with nothing but my Grand Trunk hammock, a tarp, an emergency blanket, and my sleeping bag for shelter. I still have yet to do so and my goal changed slightly when Mike Vause showed me an evolutionary sleeping pad designed specifically for your hammock. Wow! This evolutionary sleeping pad is none other than the Klymit Hammock V inflatable sleeping pad.
Note: the Hammock V sleeping pad was discontinued in 2020. Check out the Static V inflatable sleeping pad as an alternative option.
What’s New for You
Like all Klymit air pads the Hammock V is made with a V-chamber design that limits air movement and provides excellent insulation. With an R-value of 1.6, it is perfect for the coming season of camping and warmer weather. The two valve system allows you to inflate the Hammock V quickly, using only 15-25 breaths, without the worry of deflating as you go.

One of my favorite features of this air pad is the grip zones located on both sides of the pad. Your sleeping pad will be held in place in your hammock and you won’t have to worry about your sleeping bag slipping and sliding around either. You can check out our other Klymit sleeping pads here.

These coming months are my favorite because I get to head outdoors and do some camping and exploring. I am excited for my night’s sleep to allow me to climb to the top of the next mountain and take time to enjoy the beautiful vistas in comfort. Be sure to get a tarp and rope to keep the rain off of you. Shop online or in our store for tarps and rope.
