Artis Metals PSDWV10BL Hooded Wall Vent 10 Inches Black

Product Description

The ARTIS METALS PSDWV10BL is a 10-inch hooded wall vent designed for exhaust and ventilation applications in residential and light commercial construction. The unit ships with an integrated screen and a built-in damper, giving installers a ready-to-mount solution that controls airflow direction and blocks backflow when the system is idle. The hood profile sheds water and debris away from the wall opening, reducing maintenance demands in exterior installations. This vent is finished in black, making it suitable for installations where the exterior fitting needs to blend with darker siding or trim.

This hooded wall vent is used wherever a duct run terminates at an exterior wall — common applications include bathroom exhaust fans, kitchen range hoods, dryer ducts, and general HVAC ventilation outlets. The 10-inch diameter fits larger-capacity duct runs typical in commercial or high-volume residential exhaust systems. The damper prevents cold air infiltration and pest entry when the connected equipment is not operating, which is a standard requirement in most residential and commercial ventilation installs.

Key Features

• 10-inch diameter opening accommodates larger exhaust duct runs
• Hooded design deflects rain and debris away from the duct opening
• Integrated damper closes when system is off, blocking backflow and cold air infiltration
• Built-in screen provides a barrier against insects and small animals
• Black finish suits exterior installations with dark siding or trim
• Ready-to-install unit combines hood, screen, and damper in a single assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction fitting for 10-inch exterior wall vent terminations on residential and light commercial exhaust and ventilation duct systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician or general contractor following local building codes and applicable mechanical code requirements. Power down any connected exhaust fan or HVAC equipment before cutting the wall opening or making duct connections. Seal the perimeter of the vent flange to the exterior wall surface with an appropriate weatherproof sealant to prevent water intrusion. Verify that the damper swings freely after installation and that airflow from the connected equipment opens it fully under normal operating conditions.
