The Everbilt dryer vent kit with hood is an accessory used for dryer and exhaust fan venting. The opening and closing damper prevents outside elements from entering the duct. The standard mouth hood design provides maximum airflow, allowing your dyer to run efficiently. The vent is equipped with a removable pest screen that slides out for easy cleaning of lint and debris. This product is built with a UV inhibitor to help prevent fading. The hood and screen materials are paintable to match the accents of the house.
