Honeywell swh-4 Aluminum Vent Hood 4 Inches

Product Description

The Honeywell swh-4 is a 4-inch aluminum vent hood designed for use in residential and light commercial ventilation applications. This hood mounts at the exterior wall or roof termination point to protect the vent opening from weather, pests, and debris while allowing combustion gases or exhaust air to discharge freely. Constructed from aluminum, it offers corrosion resistance in outdoor environments. HVAC technicians and plumbers typically install this component as part of a direct-vent, power-vent, or exhaust-only system termination. It provides a clean, code-appropriate termination point for 4-inch vent pipe systems.

The swh-4 is suited for installations requiring a 4-inch vent termination hood at an exterior building envelope. Typical use cases include gas appliance venting, dryer exhaust, bathroom exhaust, or similar low-pressure duct exhaust applications where a durable aluminum hood is specified. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit service work where the existing termination cap requires replacement.

Key Features

• 4-inch diameter opening matches standard 4-inch vent pipe
• Aluminum construction resists corrosion and weathering in exterior installations
• Designed for exterior wall or termination-point mounting
• Suitable for a range of residential ventilation and exhaust applications
• Lightweight material simplifies handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation vent hood for systems using 4-inch diameter vent pipe terminations in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber following local mechanical code requirements. Shut down and de-energize the associated appliance before beginning any vent termination work. Ensure the hood is mounted with proper clearances to grade, adjacent surfaces, and combustion air intakes as required by the appliance manufacturer and applicable codes such as the IFGC. Seal around the hood collar at the exterior wall penetration to prevent air and moisture infiltration.
