Famco SDWV10BK 10 Inch Hooded Wall Vent Screen Damper Black

Product Description

The FAMCO SDWV10BK is a 10-inch hooded wall vent designed for through-wall exhaust and ventilation applications in residential and light commercial construction. Built from metal with a black finish, it ships with an integrated screen and a damper that opens under airflow and closes when the system is off, preventing backdraft and pest entry. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this fitting as the exterior termination point for exhaust ductwork, dryer vents, bath fans, and similar low-pressure ventilation runs.

This wall vent is suited for exterior wall penetrations where a finished, weather-resistant termination is required. The hood profile sheds rain and debris while the damper controls airflow direction. The black finish blends with dark siding, trim, or painted masonry. It is typically installed in residential new construction and retrofit projects where a 10-inch round duct terminates through an exterior wall.

Key Features

• 10-inch nominal size fits standard 10-inch round duct terminations
• Integrated damper opens with positive airflow and closes at rest to block backdraft
• Built-in screen reduces pest and debris entry
• Metal construction for durable exterior use
• Black finish for low-visibility exterior aesthetics
• Hooded design sheds rain and directs exhaust away from the wall surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 10-inch round exterior wall duct terminations in residential and light commercial ventilation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor. Shut down the associated ventilation equipment before cutting the wall penetration or connecting ductwork. Seal the perimeter of the fitting with an appropriate exterior-grade caulk or flashing to prevent water infiltration. Consult local mechanical codes and the International Mechanical Code for clearance and termination requirements specific to the application type.
