Can I use 4" CPVC pipe to extend a dryer vent in my garage?

No. It has to be rigid metal pipe in the wall. Plastic pipe is a fire hazard.

Note that you cannot use screws to attach together metal pipe for dryer vents; lint can collect on it and become a fire hazard.

I upvoted anyway, but this answer could be even better if you explained the proper way to attach the pieces of metal pipe together. – auujay Jan 28 at 15:13
