A service plumber needs to fit a washer/dryer drain, trap, and dryer vent in a tight 2-inch space behind the units in a new construction extension without a crawl space.

Vent boxes don't resolve the spatial conflict of fitting washer box drains and dryer vent simultaneously in 2 inches of clearance, and there's no integrated solution for tight spaces.
