Overview
A recessed wall box for dryer venting that lets a dryer sit 4 to 6 inches closer to the wall by routing the vent hose flush behind it instead of out the back.
This is a compatibility-driven part: it fits behind the wall in the stud cavity where a standard flexible dryer hose would otherwise get crushed against the wall, both a space issue and a listed fire hazard. It ships with dimensions for the recessed box, face plate, and a 9 inch aluminum connector, and takes a standard 4 inch dryer hose diameter.
- Recessed box: 10 1/4 x 15 7/8 x 4 inches deep
- Face plate: 17 1/4 x 11 1/2 inches
- Fits standard 4 inch dryer hose
- Includes 9 inch aluminum connector
Who it's for
Fits anyone installing or replacing dryer venting in a tight laundry space where the dryer currently has to sit too far from the wall because the hose gets crushed. Not relevant if your laundry room already has enough clearance behind the dryer.
