Artis Metals PSDWV6BL Hooded Wall Vent 6 Inches Black

Product Description

The ARTIS METALS PSDWV6BL is a 6-inch hooded wall vent designed for exterior ventilation terminations in residential and light commercial applications. Built with a hood, integral screen, and a damper, this fitting controls airflow direction, blocks pests and debris, and prevents backdrafting when the system is not operating. The black finish suits installations where the exterior wall vent is visible and a consistent color match is required. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this type of fitting as the exhaust or intake termination point for duct runs penetrating an exterior wall.

This wall vent is suited for exhaust terminations on bathroom fans, kitchen ventilation, dryer vents, and general HVAC duct systems requiring a 6-inch round collar. The hooded design sheds rain and reduces wind-driven moisture entry. The built-in damper opens under positive airflow and closes by gravity when the system is off, maintaining building envelope performance. Installation is typically at the point where interior duct transitions through the exterior wall sheathing to the outside.

Key Features

• 6-inch collar size fits standard 6-inch round duct connections
• Hooded exterior cap deflects rain and weather away from the duct opening
• Integral screen reduces pest and debris intrusion
• Gravity-operated damper closes when system is off to limit air infiltration
• Black finish for exterior visibility and color consistency
• Sold individually, quantity of one per box

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 6-inch round duct systems requiring an exterior hooded wall vent termination.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors following local mechanical codes and manufacturer guidelines. Power down or de-energize any connected fan or air-handling equipment before beginning wall penetration work. Seal the annular space between the duct and wall opening with appropriate weatherproofing material to maintain the building envelope. Follow applicable codes, including local mechanical and building codes, for exterior duct termination clearances and screen requirements.
