Additional Description:
This medium sized Galvalume® roof cap has a plate (flange) size of 12” wide x 12” and the structure is 6” wide x 8” and about 9” high. It has a 4.12 inch diameter collar that accepts typical residential dryer exhaust conduit. This vent meets all building code requirements for dryer venting. This vent features a unique, lightweight damper that is curved. The curvature deters nesting birds and rodents, preventing entry into the dryer exhaust system. The final opening is 50% larger than the round pipe portion, making it by far the most efficient roof vent on the market.
Galvalume: A patented alloy of barrier-resistant aluminum and corrosion-fighting zinc gives Galvalume its superior corrosion resistance. Most Galvalume substrates feature an alloy that is 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc and 1.5% silicon. Tests have proven this alloy superior to the zinc-only coating used in regular Galvanized sheeting.
Additionally it is Acrylic Coated, coating designation AZ-55.The collar penetrates the plate about 1.25 inches and is sealed to the plate with a silicone bead. Collar location favors the rear. See drawing showing 2.5" from rear edge. This vent is proudly made in the USA.
Professional installation is recommended.
Not recommended for for bathroom exhaust fans with less than 70 cfm output.
