Deflecto rvhaw4/18 4 Inch Dryer Vent Exhaust Hood White

Product Description

The DEFLECTO rvhaw4/18 is a wide-mouth dryer vent exhaust hood designed for 4-inch dryer duct systems. It mounts to an exterior wall and terminates the dryer exhaust duct, directing warm, moist air outside the structure while blocking backdraft and pests. The hood ships with a matching pipe section for a straightforward installation. Built from weather-resistant materials, it holds up against wind, rain, and UV exposure in outdoor applications. HVAC technicians, appliance installers, and experienced DIYers handle this type of installation as part of a standard residential dryer vent system.

This hood is intended for residential dryer venting applications where a 4-inch round duct terminates through an exterior wall. The wide-mouth design promotes airflow efficiency by reducing restriction at the exhaust point. The unit ships in white to coordinate with typical residential siding and trim. It is sold as an individual unit and suits new construction as well as replacement installations where an existing vent hood has deteriorated or failed.

Key Features

• 4-inch diameter opening matches standard residential dryer duct sizing
• Wide-mouth design reduces exhaust airflow restriction at the termination point
• Removable bird guard helps block birds and pests from nesting inside the duct or entering the structure
• Includes pipe section for quicker, easier installation
• Weather-resistant construction suited for permanent exterior mounting
• White finish for compatibility with common residential exterior surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation termination hood for residential dryer vent systems using 4-inch round ductwork.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician or qualified installer following local mechanical codes and dryer manufacturer vent-length requirements. Disconnect the dryer from its power source or gas supply before working on the duct system. The exterior wall penetration should be sealed around the hood flange with an appropriate weatherproof caulk to prevent moisture intrusion. Periodically inspect and clear the bird guard of lint buildup or debris to maintain proper airflow and reduce fire risk.
