Tapco 738253-0020A (discont.) Right Hand Vent Hood 501 Series

Product Description

The TAPCO 738253-0020A (DISCONT.) is a right-hand complete vent hood assembly from the 501 Series, designed for use with American Standard venting applications. This assembly provides the right-hand termination component for B-vent or direct exhaust systems, ensuring proper flue gas discharge and weather protection at the termination point. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary installers of this component. It is a discontinued part, making it relevant for service and replacement work on existing installations rather than new construction.

This right-hand complete assembly is intended for residential and light commercial venting systems that use the 501 Series vent hood configuration. It is suited for replacement of a worn, damaged, or failed right-hand termination on an existing American Standard venting installation. Contractors sourcing this part should confirm fitment against the original system documentation before ordering, as discontinued status means production has ended and substitute parts may be required if this unit is unavailable.

Key Features

• Right-hand orientation for correct directional termination at the vent exit point
• Complete assembly — no additional termination components required for a like-for-like swap
• 501 Series configuration for compatibility with matching American Standard vent systems
• Discontinued OEM part suitable for legacy system service and repair

Compatibility

Designed as a right-hand complete vent hood replacement for American Standard 501 Series venting systems. Verify original system part number against installer documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor familiar with venting system terminations. Shut down the connected heating appliance and allow the flue to cool completely before removing or replacing any vent termination components. Follow applicable local mechanical codes and NFPA 54 guidelines for vent termination clearances and weather-tight sealing. Do not modify the hood geometry or obstruct the termination opening during installation.
