Artis Metals PSDWV12WH Hooded Wall Vent 12 Inches White

Product Description

The ARTIS METALS PSDWV12WH is a 12-inch hooded wall vent designed for exhaust and ventilation applications in residential and light commercial construction. It ships with a built-in screen and a damper, giving installers a complete termination fitting in a single unit. The damper closes when the connected fan or blower is off, limiting backdraft and outside air infiltration. The white finish suits exterior walls where a clean, painted appearance is required. HVAC technicians, sheet metal contractors, and general contractors typically specify this type of fitting for bathroom exhaust, dryer venting, kitchen range hood terminations, or general mechanical exhaust runs.

This wall vent is suited for through-wall termination of duct runs on residential and light commercial projects. The hooded design sheds rain and debris away from the duct opening. The integrated screen discourages pest entry. It is appropriate for exterior walls where the duct exits the conditioned space and terminates to the outdoors. Confirm local code requirements for screen use on dryer exhaust terminations, as some jurisdictions restrict screens on dryer vents due to lint accumulation.

Key Features

• 12-inch opening size for compatibility with standard large-diameter duct runs
• Hooded exterior profile sheds rain and weather away from the duct opening
• Integrated screen deters pest and debris entry
• Built-in damper closes when airflow stops, reducing backdraft and infiltration
• White finish for a clean appearance on painted exterior walls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style termination fitting for 12-inch round duct exhaust and ventilation systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor following IMC and local mechanical code requirements. Cut the wall penetration to match the duct diameter and secure the vent hood to the exterior wall surface before connecting the duct. Shut down any connected fan or blower before making duct connections. Verify local codes regarding screen requirements on dryer exhaust terminations prior to installation.
