RDP Hooded Wall Vent with Screen and Damper (8 Inch, White)

Worked well for vent hood

Seems more robust than the other vents I could find.

Great product.

Overall it works well, and it sure moves a lot of air. The pest-blocking metal mesh can pop inwards very easily, which blocks the door from opening.

This side vent is well made, has a flapper to seal it closed when not using and flows a lot of air being it is a 6" unit. The flapper stays closed even on windy days as some of the cheaper ones will flap open and closed constantly on windy days which gets irritating. overall nicely built.

Nice good quality

The build quality is good and it has "wide" flap opening angle (compared to vast majority of similar vent caps which have pretty narrow angle of flap opening and are unsuitable for things like range hoods). The packaging was also good. I also appreciate the gasket on the inner side of the flap, which makes it close quietly and makes it almost air-tight in a closed position.The cost is kinda high, though - you can find similar metal vent caps with similar "wide" flap opening angle for less, with pre-drilled mounting holes (unlike this model). Also, I completely removed the included mesh cover because it serves no practical use (the closed flap is enough to prevent any pests from getting inside) and will only start accumulating lint (if you use it as a clothes dryer vent) or cooking fat (if you use it for range hood) over time, slowly decreasing the airflow. I wish I could have an option to NOT have mesh cover by default and save a little bit more money this way.

Perfect!
