Artis Metals PSDWV8BL Hooded Wall Vent 8 Inches Black

Product Description

The ARTIS METALS PSDWV8BL is an 8-inch hooded wall vent designed for exhaust and ventilation terminations in residential and light commercial applications. The unit ships with an integrated screen and a built-in damper that closes when the connected system is not operating, blocking backdrafts and pest intrusion. Sheet metal construction keeps the fitting compatible with standard round duct termination work. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this fitting as the exterior termination point for dryer exhaust, bath fan runs, range hood ducting, or general mechanical ventilation systems.

This wall vent is suited for exterior wall penetrations where a hooded termination cap is required by code or job spec. The damper allows airflow in one direction during system operation and seats closed at rest, reducing conditioned air loss and blocking wind-driven infiltration. The black finish blends with darker exterior siding and trim. Typical installations involve cutting a round wall opening, securing the vent flange to the exterior sheathing, and connecting the interior duct collar to the supply duct run.

Key Features

• 8-inch diameter fits standard round duct collars of the same size
• Hooded exterior cap deflects rain and debris away from the duct opening
• Integrated damper closes at rest to block backdraft and pest entry
• Built-in screen provides an additional barrier against insects and rodents
• Black finish for use on dark exterior surfaces
• Sold individually — one vent per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wall vent termination for 8-inch round duct systems in residential and light commercial mechanical ventilation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor following local mechanical codes and manufacturer instructions. Power down or disable the connected ventilation equipment before making duct connections. Seal the flange-to-sheathing joint with an appropriate exterior-grade sealant to prevent water infiltration. Confirm the damper swings freely and seats fully closed before completing the installation.
