Air Flow Products DB425 Metal Dryer Vent Box 2x6

Product Description

The AIR FLOW PRODUCTS DB425 is a metal dryer vent box designed for installation in 2x6 framed walls. It provides a recessed cavity behind the dryer, allowing the appliance to sit closer to the wall without crimping or crushing the exhaust duct. This reduces airflow restriction and lowers the risk of lint buildup caused by a kinked transition duct. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors install this component during new construction or retrofit projects where wall depth allows a recessed vent connection.

The DB425 is suited for residential laundry installations where a standard 4-inch dryer exhaust connection must be routed through an exterior or interior 2x6 stud wall. The recessed box keeps the duct path short and straight, supporting proper dryer performance and reducing drying cycle times. It is appropriate for both new construction rough-in and renovation work where the dryer is repositioned against a framed wall.

Key Features

• Metal construction for durability in a high-heat exhaust application
• Recessed design allows dryer to sit flush against the wall without compressing the transition duct
• Sized for 2x6 wall framing depth
• Reduces airflow restriction at the dryer exhaust connection point
• Supports lint management by maintaining an unkinked duct path

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed dryer vent box for residential laundry installations with 2x6 stud wall construction and a standard 4-inch dryer exhaust outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician or general contractor during rough-in or remodel. Power down the dryer and disconnect the exhaust transition duct before servicing or replacing any vent box component. The box must be secured to wall framing so it does not shift once the dryer is pushed into position. All dryer exhaust ductwork should comply with local mechanical codes and manufacturer exhaust length requirements.
