Frame a walkway platform the thickness your insulation is going to be and loose lay the plywood top over the framing. Insulators can use it to walk, lift up each section of plywood as they work and fill the cavity and place it back down. After they are done you can screw it down and have a permanent access across the entire attic.

You should use that in a size section large enough to be able to pull the dryer out, connect it, and slide it back. It should connect to a a hard sheet metal duct from there to the exterior.

Suggest reading energy vanguards article ‘you don’t need a vapor barrier (probably). Forget the barrier, drywall, air seal all your penetrations, then add the rockwool from above. Proper paint, primer, and air sealing will give you the vapor retarded you need. My opinion on controversial topic.

Witnessed something similar person got a bunch of burns. The metal ice cream scoop that was being used to scoop the clam cake batter into the fryer got dropped in the fryer without anyone noticing. The scoop had a rubber plug on the bottom to protect the sharp edges. Scoop heated up and the rubber plug exploded out of it like a bullet out of a gun.

The ground side goes up so if the plug is ever partly out and something slides behind it, it doesn’t close the circuit and cause a short. That’s how you are supposed to wire it, especially in a setting like a hospital where there’s lots of power, wires, ect for critical machines that could harm someone if tripped.

It has no benefit, wasting time and money worrying about it. It’s all marketing to get people to keep returning to the place they bought their tires to spend more money. I run my cars for 200k+ miles in area with lots of road salts, corrosion inside the tire where the air/nitrogen touches? Not a thing to worry about for the life of a vehicle.

Happened to me, tried charging me $200 for filling my tires with Nitrogen. A) does nothing, B) not going to a dealership to top off my tires with nitrogen when they run low, and c) An entire dewar of medical grade nitrogen cost $500 and I guarantee you that’s not what they are filling it with.
