Product description Key benefits Keeps rain and wind out: builtin mesh and a semienclosed hood design block driving rain and gusts while allowing airflow. Prevents backdrafts and pests: mesh and secure closure reduce incoming air, insects and debris when the ventilation system is not running. Durable and lowmaintenance: 304 stainless steel construction resists rust and holds shape over time for reliable outdoor use. Quick, secure fit: side quickbuckle prevents accidental detachment and external mounting holes allow firm ceiling or wall installation. What it does and why you need it Protects duct openings from weather and foreign material while allowing exhaust or intake airflow. Simplifies a neat, permanent exterior termination for ducted systems, reducing the risk of leaks, water intrusion and pest entry. Compatible with common ducted intake/exhaust hoses and ventilation fittings, making it a practical upgrade for existing systems. Features Rainproof vent hood with mesh screen located in the center of the duct opening for protection without obstructing airflow. Semienclosed (semipackage) profile that directs water away from the duct while permitting ventilation. Quickbuckle on the side for fast attachment and to keep the hood from falling off during maintenance or strong winds. Predrilled outer mounting holes for secure ceiling or wall installation. Includes reinforcement screws for a stable, longlasting mount. Constructed from 304 stainless steel for good hardness and corrosion resistance. Easy to insert into wall, roof or ceiling openings; suitable for throughwall or throughroof installations. Wear gloves during installation to avoid sharp edges. Compatibility and performance Designed for use with ducted exhaust and intake systems; attaches easily to dryer exhaust hoses, range hood ducts, bathroom fans and general ventilation hoses. Effective for indoortooutdoor exhaust and ventilation applications where protection from weather and pests is required. Performs reliably in normal residential and light commercial conditions; stainless steel material minimizes corrosion and deformation. Typical applications (use scenarios) Dryer exhaust: provides a weatherproof, secure termination for a dryer exhaust hose on an exterior wall, preventing rain and backdrafts into the laundry area. Kitchen and bathroom ventilation: ideal for range hood and bathroom fan duct outlets to keep moisture and insects out while maintaining efficient exhaust. Heat transfer and ventilation systems: suitable for attic, basement or mechanicalroom ventilation ducts where outdoor termination protection is needed. Installation notes Hood walls insert into wall, roof or ceiling openings and are secured using the supplied screws through the outer mounting holes. Use the side quickbuckle to lock the cover in place after attaching the duct. For safe handling, wear gloves during installation to protect against sharp edges. Materials and care 304 stainless steel construction for antirust performance and durability. Periodic inspection and cleaning of the mesh screen recommended to maintain airflow and prevent buildup. What's included Stainless steel vent hood with center mesh, quickbuckle, and predrilled mounting holes. Reinforcement screws for installation. This vent hood provides a practical, durable solution to protect duct terminations from weather, pests and debris while maintaining proper airflow for dryers, kitchen and bathroom exhausts and ventilation systems.
