Dryer Vent Cover

Wow, compared to the plastic vent that this replaced, this is a much more robust and better looking unit. Not an exact size match for the plastic one it replaced so had to cut to fit the shingles a bit to make it sit flush. But well worth it for the quality appearance.

Great dryer vent cap. A little sharp around edges. Works well, no damper clapping. Easy install with provided screws. Straight discharge better for cleaning of vent pipe.

This seems really nice. Way better than the plastic dryer vent cover I am replacing. The one exception are the spot welds between the cylindrical portion and the louver section. If you do install this, I would suggest not trying to remove it. I wanted to trial fit and several of the spot-welds broke when removing. I can fix this one way or another, but better welds would have been nice.

I purchased this over less costly options because I am willing to pay for quality. This vent cover did not disappoint. It is sturdy, functional and the description and size is accurate. I used this for a dryer vent on an 5” exterior brick wall. As the tube on this cover extends 2” I used a 4” end cap to make up difference. No problems on install. I did not use screws that came in package because I didn’t want to drill holes in brick. The clips on the vent tube probably would hold it secure but I also used a few dabs of silicone adhesive to hold it firm to brick. The flaps work as advertised and are not noisy

Amazing!

Work well for me

Was easy install - just be sure you are level & push into standard 4" vent pipe - 1 minute max. Little protrusions snugly lock it in place. (I cleaned vent out with long brush 1st). Done. Looks great. No need for silicone sealant, screws, gasket. Seems well built, all stainless so should last a long time. It does make a little noise when dryer is on if you are outside next to it - hardly noticeable. Dryer makes some noise even without vent cover on. Can not hear it inside house. Not a problem to me, so, I did not add extra sealant, tape, etc to inside bottom of flaps or bend to silence it as some others did. More money than the plastic ones - but worth it, I think. WAY nicer than the plastic one I had that was sucked out by a hurricane and blew away to who knows where. LOL.

The flaps on this are noisy if you're using them for a dryer. They are thin and flap nonstop and are loud enough you can hear it inside.
