Details


The DryerWallVent is built tough in the USA. This sleek, low profile, premium performance vent provides maximum airflow and minimizes lint buildup. The deep drawn heavy-gauge Galvalume® steel housing with a lighter weight Galvalume steel angled damper are powder coated and corrosion-resistant to maintain their shine. The damper's integrated magnets keep it closed when the dryer is not in use, preventing birds and rodents from entering the dryer exhaust system. The wider opening allows the dryer to perform at peak efficiency and provides easy access for vent cleaning and maintenance. The built-in drip edge protects against the elements. The DryerWallVent is available in Black, White, Brown and Tan powder coated colors, as well as a Primed Finish for you to custom paint in any color to match your exterior. 

Your home deserves a better wall vent. Select the new DryerWallVent for longevity, performance and aesthetics. This low-profile vent is specifically designed for efficiently venting a dryer, though it can work for other applications like bath vents as well. 

Longevity: Typical wall vents come in cheap plastic or lightweight metal that will not weather well, are easily crushed or mangled, and can become real eyesores. Your home is built to last a lifetime and so should your home’s components. Choose DryerWallVent for the long haul. Its housing is made of heavy-gauge, deep-drawn galvanized steel. The lighter weight damper is composed of Galvalume® steel with a stainless-steel hinge pin. For extra protection, each DryerWallVent is powder-coated with weather-resistant PPG Envirocron®. 

Aesthetics: The DryerWallVent’s low profile and clean lines, combined with four stock powder coating color choices (white, tan, brown, and black), help it blend into the home’s exterior, though it can also be used as an architectural accent. Deep draw manufacturing makes for a sleek housing that doesn’t compete with exterior aesthetics. When you replace unsightly vents with the DryerWallVent, you’ll improve curb appeal and allow your beautiful home to shine. 

Installation: Combine all these benefits, longevity, performance and aesthetics, with ease of installation and you’ve got a great new project that you can quickly complete. Standard installation is straightforward and can be finished in 5 simple steps. The optional backing plate install for wider wall openings requires only three additional steps. 

Summary of Benefits:

  • Allows the dryer to operate at peak efficiency
  • Can help reduce drying times, wear and tear
  • A large, accessible opening makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze
  • Installs easily in lap siding, stucco, brick and other conventional sidings
  • Blends into exteriors with clean lines and low profile
  • Meets or exceeds manufacturer and code requirements
  • Provides extra protection from weather and pests
  • Stands the test of time with heavy gauge steel and powder coating

Innovative product

by Bob McDowell| 2/19/2017 12:00:00 am

I am very impressed with the quality of this vent cover - seems like it will last for years. The lid closes very securely; I trust that the dryer vent will always have the ummph to open it, which it seems to.

Metal Dryer Vent

by John| 2/26/2017 12:00:00 am

Good tolerances and installed easily. Would have preferred the mounting collar sized to fit over the receiving 4" seamed pipe there-by visibly assuring sufficient connection that can be sealed. Also, as a minor detail, i would have liked to see a positive slope in the metal flange just below the rubber stops to allow for water runoff.

metal good, plastic bad

by cordell52| 12/10/2015 12:00:00 am

I put a cheapo plastic on during my remodel 3 years ago, painted it so I thought that would help with deterioration.... Wrong.... it fell apart. Luckily I saw this in a mag and took a chance. It is as good advertised, rugged, looks good, easy to install and being able to open it to clean is very handy. Five Stars

Metal Dryer Wall Vent

by David White| 10/30/2015 12:00:00 am

I build custom homes, and this dryer wall vent compliments my homes. A very classic style that is far better looking and functional then any of the big store products. Will install one of these in all of my homes.

Nice Product

by DannyR| 4/30/2015 12:00:00 am

Looked to repolace my broekn dryer vent for a while. This product seemed to fit the bill perfectly. It was a very easy install and took just minutes to install. It closes securely and no pest can enter. The only negative thing that I can say about this produce it that is works well for flat housing surfaces and not so great against vinyl siding. Since it doesn't sit flush against the siding, you have to use a huge amount of caulking to seal up the gaps. I used plumbers putty around the largest areas and then I used caulking to finish it up. It's hard to have a product to fit each and every need, but this one comes close.

Not your box store junk!

by Don| 2/3/2017 12:00:00 am

This is a well constructed unit that comes in white or brown. I used brown. We had difficulty attaching to the first piece of pipe but found out the pipe was now sold in a slightly smaller diameter than in the past. Beware of cheap pipe. We found a new piece that was properly sized and it worked out great. The new Samsung washer said no magnetic vents, but this unit has such week magnets that it is not a problem. The pressure sensor nevers kicks in. You can open the lid by lightly blowing!

Only vent to use

by John| 11/4/2015 12:00:00 am

I used four of these wall vents on a remodel I am doing right now. Three of them for bathroom exhaust fans and one for the dryer. I remodel and build custom homes and often have to replace dented aluminum vents or broken plastic vents that are damaged by the sun or other means. These wall vents are the perfect solution for a long lasting vent cover. I expect it will last 40 to 50 years. Thank you. I like making our clients homes maintenance free.

Best vent! Need to know that this vent fits inside the vent pipe, without the corrogated end. This is important to know before the vent arrives so the pipe could be mounted ahead of time. Why are they not available in the big supply stores yet?

Perfect

by Mary| 7/1/2015 12:00:00 am

Thank you for a reasonable priced, well made product. I too was tired of constantly replacing flimsy vent covers that did not close tightly. The dryer vent works perfectly. The one for the bathroom vent needed something to lessen the attraction of the magnets as the blower did not have the strength to break the seal. A piece of tape was all it took and it now works perfectly also.

PERFECT!

by Gretchen| 3/11/2019 12:00:00 am

This WILL be the LAST dryer vent I ever need to buy. Its a sturdy thick metal that is high quality, sleek and smooth so lint will blow right out. I bought it because I have dogs who could chew the cheap plastic vents, this will hold up well. Thanks for a great product.

Premium Flush-mount Metal Dryer Wall Vent

by Ernest| 12/6/2015 12:00:00 am

So far so good. Steel rather than the plastic louver pieces of junk you find in stores. Please ask me in about 2 years how they are working? That is when those plastic ones would die for me. You have to be creative to mount it on vinyl siding. Screws that come with are not long enough and with the door and magnets I could only use 2 to mount the vent. I bought one for my dryer and one for my bathroom exhaust fan. They work better than expected. Well worth their money. Simple design and no back pressure. I wish these would be more commercially marketed so people could buy them in store rather than online. These vents put the plastic ones to shame! I do not know why plastic vents are even allowed to be made, 2-3 years they fall apart from sun exposure unlike these steel ones! Great product!

Premium Flush-mount Metal Dryer Wall Vent

by SS| 11/6/2015 12:00:00 am

I was looking for a Dryer Wall Vent which would last for lifetime (as opposed to all those plastic vents that are available at the hardware stores). This product exceeded all my expectations. It is extremely sturdy and the magnetic closure mechanism is ingenious. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone.

Premium Metal Dryer Vent

by John| 3/3/2017 12:00:00 am

The installation of this vent was extremely easy. The 4" collar fit perfectly into the existing vent - no fitting was required. Total time of installation was less than 10 mins. The magnet pulls the vent closed after dryer vent air shuts off. I used this to replace a existing plastic louver vent that was warped and not closing properly anymore. Great product with quality that will last.

Q-wality Vent

by Wylie| 2/12/2017 12:00:00 am

A very well-constructed vent which I hope will survive the Labrador puppy's chewing phase better than the plastic one originally installed. He went through two of those.

Simple but Effective !

by Jace| 12/26/2015 12:00:00 am

Way better than Big Box PVC ! The only thing better would be stainless steel, that would be premium plus !

Simply Great

by KLS| 2/22/2017 12:00:00 am

This is a well built product. Simple is design but great functionally. Will recommend to everyone I can. Have built houses for sometime and now we do energy retrofits. This one is on our listfor every job from now on. Will be ordering more...

Sleek

by Captain T| 12/16/2015 12:00:00 am

It's hard to get excited about dryer vents. Who cares. But- It's not plastic. Should last a long time. It works great.

Solid

by Kevin| 3/14/2017 12:00:00 am

It looks great and was easy to install. Since it is metal, you can screw it into the wall for a solid mount. I know I won't have to think about my dryer vent again.

Surprisingly Great Product

by charlie saul| 12/11/2015 12:00:00 am

Well made, ingenious yet simple design is effective at keeping critters out, great value. Came quick. Easy for homeowner to install. Even though I have lots of construction experience, your installation video was quite helpful! Really should be in all construction supply stores for new installations as well as for replacements.

Super

by David| 10/15/2015 12:00:00 am

The Metal Dyer vent works very well and the magnets keep it closed - the metal is very solid - I like things that are quality made and just work as they should - that's what this vent does and is!

Solidly built product

by Matt| 12/25/2015 12:00:00 am

This dryer vent far exceeded my expectations. It is very well built and much nicer than anything I was able to find in the big box stores. It also looks good. In my opinion, well worth the price.

The Best

by Robert| 1/17/2016 12:00:00 am

This is a far better product than you can get at the big box stores. You will not have any insects or rodents entering your dryer vent. The tolerances are right on the money, so no cold air entering your home when not in use. It will save you money and it looks great.

The Best

by Geoff| 12/9/2015 12:00:00 am

Bought two of these for my dryer and bathroom fans. Both installed easily. I live in a very windy area so Rick sent me a few extra magnets for the bathroom vent to keep it from opening. It's way better than anything at the big box stores!
