Famco SDWV12BK Hooded Wall Vent 12 Inch Black

Product Description

The FAMCO SDWV12BK is a 12-inch hooded wall vent constructed from metal and finished in black. It includes an integrated screen and a damper, making it a functional termination point for exhaust or ventilation duct runs through exterior walls. The damper helps prevent backdrafting and outside air infiltration when the system is not operating, while the screen guards against debris and pest entry. This type of fitting is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors during new construction and retrofit ventilation work.

This wall vent is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a duct requires a weather-resistant exterior termination. Typical uses include bathroom exhaust fan terminations, range hood exhausts, dryer vents, and fresh air intakes. The black finish makes it appropriate for installations where aesthetics matter, such as painted or dark-colored exterior wall surfaces. The 12-inch size accommodates larger duct diameters common in commercial kitchen exhaust or high-volume ventilation systems.

Key Features

• 12-inch fitting size accommodates large-diameter duct terminations
• Integrated damper reduces backdrafting and air infiltration when the system is idle
• Built-in screen blocks debris, insects, and pests from entering the duct
• Metal construction provides durability for exterior wall installations
• Black finish suits dark or painted exterior wall surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wall vent fitting for 12-inch exterior duct terminations in residential and light commercial ventilation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician or licensed contractor. Shut down the associated ventilation or exhaust system before beginning work. Ensure the wall penetration is properly sealed around the fitting to prevent water intrusion and air leakage. Follow all applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines when securing the fitting to the exterior wall surface.
