The Dryer Box® 425 Recessed Dryer Vent Box (# DB-425, DB425, 10-2000)
Why The Need For The Dryer Box? In the past, homeowners had to put up with the inefficient venting of their dryer appliance exhaust due to numerous friction causing bends or kinks in the flex duct hose that connects the dryer to the wall exhaust pipe. Lint build-up and a fire hazard are the unwelcome bi-products of these annoying bends. In order to accommodate these flow restrictive bends, the dryer appliance had to be located five to six inches away from the wall, taking away from valuable living area. The Dryer Box solves these issues and provides much more in benefits to the builder, the contractor and the homeowner.

Model 350 is designed to accommodate installations that require a shallower stud bay or additional space behind the Dryerbox. This model's depth from the nailing flange to the rear is 3 1/2" and will fit in a 2 X 4 stud bay. It is important to note that Snaplock pipe becomes "ovalized" when drywall is secured to the studs. To handle this compressed stated, model 350s have an oval port. This makes attaching transition hose a little more challenging but is a compromise to support unusual requirements.
For standard installations, 2 X 6 studs or 2 X 4 studs with 1" furring strips are recommended to provide enough room for model 480 or model 425.
