Dryerbox DB-500 Metal Retro-Fit Receptacle to House Dryers Flex Hose, White
In-O-Vate Technologies, makers of the original Dryerbox, now offer the model 500 for retro-fit applications for your laundry room remodel. Now you can install the Dryerbox in existing drywall to safely recess flex exhaust hose neatly in the wall. Then, the dryer can be placed flush against the wall without the risk of crushing the hose or restricting airflow. This simple, metal receptacle features a white powder coated finish (similar to your laundry appliances). The over-the-wall flange minimizes drywall work and makes for a clean remodel job. The Dryerbox makes the laundry room look and feel larger, eliminate the mess behind the dryer, extend dryer life, ensuring efficient exhaust, make room for today's larger appliances, reduce lint buildup and fire hazard. The original Dryerbox is used by building contractors and HVAC tradesmen in new construction throughout the US and Canada. Over 2 million Dryerboxes are installed in new homes. Go with the builder trusted metal receptacle behind your hot dryer. Trust your instincts: this solution for the builder is now available for the DIY homeowner.  Prior to ordering, confirm there are no obstacles in the wall behind the intended installed location. This is generally accomplished by cutting an investigation hole with a key-hole saw. Preferred installation is port up, although it will work lying on its side. Turning box upside down (port down) will not provide adequate storage and recoil space for flex connector pipe and is discouraged (unless it is a stackable washer / dryer). Top port measures 4-1/8-Inch with very slight oval shape. Distance from mounting flange to rear of box is 5-1/8-Inch. Overall measurements: 21-Inch H x 11-1/2-Inch W x 5-1/8-Inch D. Inside measurements: 9-1/2-Inch wide x 18-1/4-Inch tall. Two mounting 3/16-Inch holes on bottom flange. Will not work in a 2x4 framed wall (5-1/8-Inch deep).
