ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for creating a flow of air in a hollow wall or ceiling to aid in drying a wall or ceiling which has become wet generally through a disaster such as broken pipes, flooding, leaking roof, includes a conduit having a first end sized and configured to fit and be secured over and around an opening in a wall or ceiling which has an electrical box mounted therein. The conduit will generally be provided with holes positioned to be aligned with the usual cover plate mounting holes in a wall switch or outlet, or fixture mounting holes in the box itself, through which screws can be positioned to effect securement of the conduit. A second end of the conduit is configured to accept the end of an air supply hose or a vacuum supply hose, such as extending from the outlet or the inlet, respectively, of a usual air blower, and an air flow passage extends from the second end to the first end to direct air into or draw air from the wall or ceiling through and around the electrical box. A sealing foam facilitates mounting of the conduit over electrical boxes of varying depth in the opening with screws of a set length.
