Additional Description:
This medium sized Galvalume® roof cap has a plate (flange) size of 12" wide x 14" and the structure is 6" wide x 8" and about 8" high. It has a 4.12 inch diameter collar that excepts typical residential dryer exhaust conduit. Per building codes, there is no screen in this vent as it is exclusively designed for clothes dryers. Unlike other roof vents this vent features a unique light-weight damper that is curved which increases the efficiency dramatically. The final opening is 65% larger than the round pipe portion. By far, this is the most efficient roof vent on the market.
The collar penetrates the plate about 1.25 inches and is sealed to the plate with a silicone bead. It will work on a flat roof as long as there is no chance of standing water greater than 1" and sloped roofs up to 12/12. Note: Not recommended for use with a high-profile roof tiles like "S", Spanish S as there is only 5 inches between the opening and the bottom plate. Nest building within would be doubtful due to the slope and shape of the damper. This vent is proudly made in the USA.
In the past, homeowners had to put up with the inefficient venting of their dryer appliance exhaust due to numerous friction causing bends or kinks in the flex duct hose that connects the dryer to the wall exhaust pipe. Lint build-up and a fire hazard are the unwelcome bi-products of these annoying bends. In order to accommodate these flow restrictive bends, the dryer appliance had to be located five to six inches away from the wall, taking away from valuable living area.
Today, you can place the dryer flush to the wall without crushing the exhaust hose or restricting airflow.
