Review: The Real deal - This vent assembly was exactly what I needed for my application. Very well made, sturdy and was long enough to customize my installation. I bought a new home and the option for a through the wall kitchen range hood option was $995.00….I knew it was an easy install because my kitchen was on an outside wall. The builder uses GE range hoods. They all are made to be a top vent top , rear or recirculate w/o any exterior venting. In this case I did the rear vent so I did not sacrifice the cabinet above the range. It is a straight shot outside with no obstruction on the exterior of the house. I did have to contact GE to get the damper assembly for the back of the range hood. Once I received it I installed the damper, I had to measure the vent depth from the outside wall to the back of the range hood. Luckily the vent assembly was plenty long enough for me to cut and fit it exactly to the depth I needed. I cut about 2 1/2” off and cut multiple 1/2 depth around the vent duct so I could slightly flare the duct so I could fit it to the damper on the back of the range hood. My range hood comes with a stainless steel filler assembly that is 30” wide and 3 inch depth to fill the gap between my hood and the wall, so I was working blind on the connection of the duct to the range hood. I was working alone so I set up a ledger board on the rear wall and set the hood on the ledger board to hold the rear of the hood while I slid the range back into place AND Bang a it was perfect fit. The only negative thing I would say is, I wish it had an integrated “bird screen “ to keep potential bird or insects From entering the home through the duct. It took me all of about 2 hours to install this unit. Heavy duty materials and very well made, Purchased on desertcart , would recommend this vent use.
Review: Top of the line vent hood exhaust cap - I bought this to install with my new Chef PS18 range hood. The existing hole in the wall from the old vent hood for this cap was already the same size so removing the old one and installing this one wasn't too difficult. This exhaust cap is a premium product, there is nothing cheap about. The metal is thick and the length of the square duct part of it that goes inside the wall is 10 or 12 inches, long enough to go through the thickest wall. I have regular 2 x 4 walls so I had to cut it down to the right length with a hack saw. The painted surface on the head has a good layer of paint on it and isn't easily scratched, it's was probably primed before being painted. The damper inside is also well balanced and opens easy with a little draft, and closes snug when there is no air flow. Since my new range hood also had an exhaust damper on it I decided to remove one of them so the exhaust fans didn't have to force two dampers open. I removed the one from the range hood and left this one for three reasons, one I wanted the damper as close to the outdoor exit as possible to keep critters out, two - if this damper ever gets stuck, I can easily work on it by reaching up the exit opening outside, where if the damper on the range hood got stuck it might be quite an ordeal to get to. Three - this damper was the better made and most likely to remain trouble free of the two. Some things that I would suggest to anyone installing one of these vent exhaust caps is to use the damper in this cap, and remove any other damper in the path such as one that may come installed in the range hood. I would also put a good layer of long lasting caulk or silicone around the inside of the the galvanized rectangle end of this cap where they join and this one slides over the rectangle piece on the back of the range hood. This will seal the two rectangle exhaust pieces together and prevent any accumulation of grease, smoke or other smell from accumulating in the wall.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do they make a bird screen for it i see there are holes for screws ?**
A: Yes they do, as long as you're willing to go to Canada to buy it. Seriously! They're not allowed to sell these vents  in the U.S. with a provided screen, but they are allowed to do so in Canada. At least, that's what I was told when I drove to their U.S. factory in order to buy this particular vent (with its accompanying screen) directly from them. So, I went with a different design that does provide a snap-on bird screen. The vent that I chose instead of this particular one uses 4 plastic louvers for the seal, and has an optional  5 inch by 6 inch snap-over covering, (with 1/2 inch square openings comprising the grid) which makes up the front of this snap-over addition. If you need to modify this covering with an insect screen added to the existing 1/2 " square facing vinyl grid, I suppose that you could fasten an insect screen to the front of the plastic grill with "epoxy- made-for-plastic', available from any hardware store. Just remember, this is NOT UP TO CODE anywhere in the U.S. if it is to be used for a dryer exhaust. If it is, it'll clog almost instantly with lint, creating a huge fire hazard, so act accordingly. You can find these vinyl louvered vents with optional accessory grates on Amazon, and in many colors. Good luck.

**Q: does cold air get in in the winter if you live near the Canada border in the northeast?**
A: If properly installed that shouldn’t be a problem, the flap closes by gravity when no air is being vented out.  All bets are off if you live far away from the border though, eh...

**Q: How long does this extend into wall? 5"?**
A: 9-5/8"

**Q: Does anyone know how to create bug screen for this?**
A: Yes, I made one pretty easy. Get a piece of bugscreen big enough for a quarter inch border around the opening. Mark the size of the opening and bend in the 1/4" tabs of the bug screen 90 degrees. Slip the bug screen in the opening and slide the tabs you made behind the tabs of the opening of the vent from the inside. You can pinch the folds of the vent tightly over the bug screen for a zero silicone/fastener install. I did this in 30 mins on my living room floor with some pliers/bugscreen/sheet metal benders and it looks like it came with it on.
