Builders Best 111094 Fresh Air Intake Vent Hood 8 Inch

Product Description

The BUILDERS BEST 111094 is a heavy-duty, wide-mouth fresh air intake vent hood designed for wall-mount installation on residential and light commercial ventilation systems. Constructed from 26-gauge mill galvanized steel, this vent hood delivers reliable corrosion resistance in exterior applications. The unit ships with a 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch removable tail screen that blocks pests and debris from entering the duct system. At 8 inches in diameter, it is sized for common fresh air intake ducting found in HVAC and combustion air supply setups. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary installers of this component.

This vent hood is suited for fresh air intake applications on exterior walls where a wide-mouth profile is required to minimize intake velocity and reduce pressure drop. The wide-mouth wall design makes it a practical choice for combustion air intakes, makeup air systems, and general ventilation in both new construction and retrofit projects. The removable screen allows for periodic cleaning and inspection without removing the entire hood from the wall.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor. Shut down the associated air handling or combustion equipment before cutting the wall penetration or connecting ductwork. Follow local building codes and IFGC requirements when this hood serves a combustion air intake. Seal the perimeter of the hood flange to the exterior wall surface with an appropriate weatherproof sealant to prevent moisture intrusion.
