Artis Metals PSDWV10WH Hooded Wall Vent 10 in Screen Damper

Product Description

The ARTIS METALS PSDWV10WH is a 10-inch hooded wall vent designed for exterior wall penetrations in residential and light commercial ventilation systems. The unit ships with an integral wire screen and a backdraft damper, giving installers a complete assembly in a single part. The white finish suits standard exterior trim on painted siding and stucco applications. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this fitting as the terminal point of exhaust or supply ductwork where it exits through an exterior wall.

This vent is suited for exhaust applications including bathroom fans, dryer vents, range hoods, and general mechanical ventilation where a 10-inch round duct terminates at an exterior wall. The hooded design deflects wind-driven rain and debris away from the duct opening. The included damper closes when the connected fan is not running, limiting conditioned air loss and preventing pest entry. It is appropriate for residential new construction as well as replacement service work.

Key Features

• 10-inch opening fits standard 10-inch round duct without additional adapters
• Hooded exterior profile deflects rain and wind-driven debris from the duct opening
• Integral backdraft damper closes when exhaust fan is off to reduce air infiltration
• Wire screen included to prevent pest entry
• White finish coordinates with painted exterior wall trim

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 10-inch round exhaust and supply duct terminations on exterior walls in residential and light commercial ventilation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor. The connected mechanical system should be powered down before cutting the wall opening or connecting ductwork. Verify local building codes for required clearances from windows, doors, gas appliance flues, and grade level before locating the penetration. Seal the perimeter of the fitting to the exterior wall surface with an approved weatherproof sealant to prevent water intrusion.
