| The Dryer-Ell Eliminates Duct Run Penalties and Can Eliminate Fans |

Booster Fan? For some dryer venting installations, a booster fan is the only alternative because of the
sheer distance required to exit the building. To place the dryer in very interior locations that require 45 to 60 feet of
duct run to exit the structure, the DBF110 Booster
Fan by Fantech is a viable option in some jurisdictions.
Lately, some local municipalities are shying away from the use of booster fans. Since the 2006 International Residential
Code (IRC) has adopted the advantage of the Dryer-Ell's longer turn radius--reducing duct run penalties for each 90 degree turn under
section M1502.6--there are some cases where the Dryer-Ell is an outstanding (and cost-saving) alternative to dryer
booster fans.
 The Dryer-Ell Advantage:
Simplifies Installation - No Electrical Work
Eliminates a Mechanical Point of Failure
Requires no Regular Maintenance
Saves Money and Energy
Booster Fan Alternative Testimonials
"I am an Architectural Engineer and in the process of constructing an 8 unit apartment building for
myself. The dryer runs with a traditional 90 bend would have been 32ft. By using your product
I was able to meet the IMC 2006 25ft requirement without installing
any booster fans."
-- Chris Bohley, Architectural Engineer
"I am the custom home supervisor with Nuccio Air and get Red Tagged all the time for dryer runs over 25 feet.
Yesterday for example I was rejected for a run that was 27 feet. The builder did not want to pay the
$400 for a booster fan so finding your dryer-ell provided me
an alternative that saves me a lot of heart ache. I think it's one of the
best new items I've seen for our industry in a long time. In our jurisdictions, length of run issues with the dryer
conduit are real and all the time cause us heart ache. The savings each of these provide will be a huge benefit for our
company and all the other trades that work in our four municipalities region (Counties of Hillsborough, Pasco,
Hernando and the City of Tampa). My hat's off to you for the innovation and delivery of a product well over due. "
-- Tommy Buchanan, Supervisor, Nuccio Heating & Air, Tampa FL
"I have contractors screaming for this product. Without your Dryer-ell
they are required to install expensive booster fans.
These contractors have reviewed your engineering data and view the product as an excellent alternative to installing
a booster fan. I have also spoken with other distributors in our area and they too seem very interested in carrying
this product. I like it and we are ready to get some in here."
-- Chris Kidwell, Lambert Heating and Air Conditioning, Sioux Falls, SD
