What are the straps used for on the DBX 1000 Dryer Vent Box?
The DBX 1000™ Dryer Vent Box is designed to anchor to two studs in a 16 inch on-center stud cavity (most common configuration). However if the stud cavity happens to be 24 inches on-center or is in any other way is too large, the straps allow for anchoring to the second stud to give the main receptacle the necessary support. This makes the drywall contractor’s job a lot easier and cuts down on possible repair issues.
