Artis Metals PSDWV6BR Hooded Wall Vent 6 Inches Brown

Product Description

The ARTIS METALS PSDWV6BR is a 6-inch hooded wall vent designed for through-wall exhaust and ventilation applications in residential and light commercial construction. The unit includes an integrated screen and damper, providing passive backdraft resistance when the system is not in operation. The hood profile deflects weather and debris away from the wall opening. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this fitting as a termination point for dryer exhaust, bath fan ducting, kitchen range hood exhaust, or general mechanical ventilation runs. The brown finish blends with common exterior wall surfaces.

This wall vent is suited for 6-inch round duct terminations penetrating exterior walls. Typical installations include residential dryer vents, bathroom exhaust fans, and ventilation exhaust runs that require a weather-resistant, louvered termination at the building envelope. The built-in screen discourages pest intrusion while the damper closes against reverse airflow when the connected fan or blower is off.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor. Shut down and de-energize any connected fan or blower before beginning wall penetration work. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer clearance requirements for exterior wall terminations, particularly for dryer exhaust, which is governed by the International Mechanical Code. Seal the perimeter of the fitting to the exterior wall surface with an appropriate weatherproof sealant to prevent moisture infiltration.
