When venting through a wall is the best option, a quality wall vent should be considered. Vent Works 5" inch, heavy gauge wall vents are not available at your local home improvement or general hardware store. There are 3 different material options; galvanized (26 gauge), white powder coated steel (26 gauge) and aluminum (high grade). There are 3 different utility options; damper only, screen only, damper and screen. The backdraft damper is spring loaded to prevent drafting from outside. The screen is 1/4” inch galvanized steel mesh. Our vents are used in a wide variety of commercial and residential applications including heating systems, bathroom exhaust, kitchen exhaust, laundry room exhaust, venting spray booths, laser engraving machines, exhaust fan blowers, virtually anything with a 5" inch round exhaust.
To Install: Cut a 5-1/8” inch hole in the side wall and install, be sure to seal it.
| There are 3 options; damper only, screen only, damper and screen. We use 1/4” inch galvanized steel mesh screen. |

Yes; use the "damper only" option which means it has a damper without any screen. Our screened wall vents have a fixed screen, this screen is not removable and as a result it’s not optimal for dryer venting. If you do use a screened vent you should clean the screen regularly because it will build up lint quickly.

Yes; Try to match the bathroom fan exhaust outlet with the wall vent, it’s best when the diameter of the fan outlet, vent and duct are all the same e.g. if the bathroom fan’s outlet is 6 inch use a 6 inch wall vent with 6 inch ducting etc. If needed use a reducer to decrease/increase the diameter size to bridge the gap of difference from your fan to vent.
