Famco SDWV12WH Hooded Wall Vent 12 Inch White

Product Description

The FAMCO SDWV12WH is a 12-inch hooded wall vent designed for exhaust and ventilation applications in residential and light commercial construction. Built from metal, it includes an integrated screen and a damper that closes when the connected fan or system is not running, helping to block backdrafts and keep out debris and pests. HVAC technicians and contractors install this vent as a termination point for exhaust runs through exterior walls. The hooded profile sheds rain and directs exhaust airflow away from the wall surface, reducing moisture intrusion risk at the penetration point. It ships in white to blend with light-colored siding and exterior finishes.

This wall vent is suited for exterior wall terminations on bath exhaust fans, range hoods, dryer ducts, and similar residential ventilation systems requiring a 12-inch duct connection. It is intended for through-wall installations where a hooded cover, backdraft damper, and insect screen are all required in a single fitting. The metal construction holds up to standard exterior exposure conditions.

Key Features

• 12-inch fitting size for large-diameter duct terminations
• Integrated backdraft damper closes when system is off to block reverse airflow
• Built-in insect and debris screen on the vent opening
• Hooded design sheds rain and directs exhaust away from the wall surface
• Metal construction for durability at exterior wall penetrations
• White finish for compatibility with light-colored exterior surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wall vent for residential and light commercial exhaust systems using 12-inch round duct connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or contractor following local mechanical codes and manufacturer guidelines. Shut down and lock out any connected fan or exhaust appliance before beginning work at the wall penetration. Seal around the vent collar with an appropriate exterior-grade sealant to prevent water infiltration at the wall opening. Do not install over pressurized or combustion-gas exhaust systems without first confirming the vent rating is appropriate for that application.
