Inovate rb-500 Dryer Box Retrofit 4 Inches Deep

Product Description

The INOVATE rb-500 is a retrofit dryer box designed to recess a dryer's exhaust connection into the wall cavity, allowing the appliance to sit closer to the wall. At 4 inches deep, this unit provides the clearance needed to maintain proper duct geometry while reducing the gap between the dryer and the finished wall surface. It is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or experienced general contractors during remodel or retrofit projects where an existing through-wall dryer vent connection is being upgraded or replaced.

The rb-500 is suited for retrofit installations in residential laundry spaces where the existing wall lacks a recessed dryer vent box. The 4-inch depth accommodates standard 4-inch diameter dryer exhaust connections. This product is appropriate for both new drywall applications and cut-in installations into existing finished walls, making it a practical solution during bathroom or laundry room remodels.

Key Features

• 4-inch recess depth allows dryer to sit flush or near-flush against the wall
• Retrofit design for installation into existing finished or framed wall cavities
• Accommodates standard 4-inch dryer exhaust duct connections
• Reduces duct kinking and crushing caused by dryer being pushed against the wall

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style retrofit replacement dryer box for residential laundry installations using standard 4-inch dryer exhaust ducting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified contractor. Disconnect and de-energize the dryer before beginning any duct or wall work. A hole saw or drywall saw is required to cut the wall opening to the correct dimensions; consult local mechanical codes for exhaust duct clearance and termination requirements. Ensure the dryer exhaust duct is properly secured and that no flexible duct is crushed or kinked after the appliance is pushed into its final position.
