Slide the dryer back without crushing the duct.
A recessed dryer box is a pocket in the wall that holds the duct connection, so the dryer can sit close to the wall without squeezing the duct.
- Box: Recessed into the wall
- Benefit: Dryer sits closer to the wall
What it is, and why it matters.
Behind most dryers, the duct has to turn at a tight angle. A recessed box tucks that elbow into the wall, giving the duct room to keep its shape and giving you back floor space.
We install a box sized to the dryer connection, connect it to the duct run and check that the dryer fits and the airflow is strong. It is especially helpful in closets and tight laundry rooms.
Four things done right.
Protects the duct
The elbow sits in the wall instead of being squashed.
Gains floor space
The dryer can sit closer to the wall.
Sized correctly
The box matches the duct and the dryer outlet.
Tested
We confirm the airflow after installing it.

Recessed Dryer Box Installation: common questions
Does a recessed box help airflow?
It helps by letting the duct keep a gentle shape. It will not fix a long or clogged run.
Can a recessed box go in any wall?
It depends on what is inside the wall. We check before we cut.
