Dryer-Ells are ten inch radius, smooth interior elbows that reclaim allowable duct length. Based on
ASHRAE methodology for calculating friction loss, they can be measured the same as straight pipe. This
removes the run length penalty that most building codes require for every elbow. Adopted in 2006 IRC
under section M1502.6, 2009 IMC under section 504.6.4 and 2009 IRC section M1502.4, Dryer-Ells can be the perfect
solution for length-of-run issues. The Dryer-Ell increases dryer efficiency, and--when replacing a restrictive small radius
elbow--it can be used as an alternative to expensive booster fans.
Underwriters Laboratories
In-O-Vate Technologies commissioned an Underwriters Laboratories Fact Finding Report that showed
a 500% improvement in airflow versus the old, standard 4" radius 90-degree, five sectioned elbows. --View Elbow Comparison

An independent panel of 45 contractors acted as judges in a design contest that had 112 entries from 75
manufacturers. The Dryer-Ell took top honors with a Gold Award for ventilation products.

When used with the Dryerbox, contractors are able to use the
entire 35 lineal feet that most code allows for because Dryer-ells do not require a reduction in duct length.
