The Builder's Best Heavy Gauge Outdoor Wall Vent Hood with a spring-loaded damper is designed for durability, efficiency, and long-term performance. Made from heavy-duty 24-gauge mill finish aluminum, this vent hood offers exceptional resistance to the elements, making it ideal for exterior wall applications. It is engineered with a spring-loaded flapper that helps prevent back drafts, outside air, and unwanted pests from entering your home. The damper stays closed when not in use, offering reliable protection and energy efficiency. This wall vent hood is constructed using rivets instead of caulk, ensuring a solid and weather-resistant build. Its mouth opening is wider than the connected duct, maximizing airflow and reducing air resistance—an essential feature for effective kitchen exhaust systems. The 6-inch diameter tailpiece extends 6 inches, providing ample length for a secure duct connection. Additionally, the vent hood includes 4 pre-drilled mounting holes, allowing it to mount flat and securely against most exterior walls. Ideal for venting kitchen appliances such as range hoods or over-the-range microwaves, this wall cap serves as the final termination point for exhausting smoke, fumes, or lint from inside the home to the outdoors. Whether the venting system exits through the wall, roof, or eave, this hood offers a reliable and durable solution for proper air expulsion. Built for performance and longevity, the Builder’s Best wall vent hood is a smart, professional-grade choice for any residential or light commercial ventilation setup.
