Inovate rb-400 Dryer Box Retrofit 3.5 Inches Deep

Product Description

The INOVATE rb-400 is a retrofit dryer box designed for recessed installation in residential walls, allowing a standard dryer exhaust transition duct to sit flush behind the dryer unit. At 3.5 inches deep, it fits within a standard 2x4 stud bay without requiring additional framing modification. This fitting is typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or experienced finish carpenters during a dryer hookup or laundry room renovation where the existing wall connection is surface-mounted and a cleaner, recessed solution is needed.

The rb-400 is suited for residential laundry installations where a dryer is positioned directly against a wall and a surface-mounted exhaust elbow or duct transition creates clearance problems. The retrofit design allows installation in existing construction without full wall tear-out, making it practical for service calls and remodels alike. It accepts standard dryer exhaust duct connections and provides a clean finished appearance once the dryer is in place.

Key Features

• Retrofit design installs into existing wall construction without full demolition
• 3.5 inches deep recess fits standard 2x4 stud bay framing
• Allows dryer to sit flush against wall by recessing the exhaust transition

Compatibility

Designed as a retrofit recessed dryer box for standard residential laundry room wall installations where a 3.5-inch depth recess is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified HVAC technician, plumber, or experienced tradesperson. Shut off power to the dryer circuit at the breaker panel before beginning work. Cut the wall opening to the manufacturer-specified dimensions and verify stud spacing allows for the 3.5-inch depth without contacting electrical, plumbing, or other utilities inside the wall cavity. Ensure the exhaust duct connection is properly sealed and that the completed installation complies with local mechanical codes and dryer manufacturer requirements.
