Fiber Cement Hooded Exterior Dryer Vent
Installation Instructions
-To be installed prior to siding-
Step 1
Remove the trim ring from the Hooded Dryer
Vent Assembly. See Figure 1 below.
Step 4
The top flange of the Hooded Mount should be shingled
underneath the building paper. If the building paper is
already installed, slice the paper so that the top flange of
the Mount can be slid up underneath the paper and seal
the cut in the paper with a strip of flashing tape. Cut the
siding around the Mount. Install the siding according to
the manufacturer's installation instructions. Caulk all gaps
as needed per the siding manufacturer's specifications.
See Figure 4 below.
Step 2
Place tape or sealant between the Hooded Dryer
Vent and house. Align the Hooded Dryer Tube
with the available opening (Suggested hole
size: 4 1/8" diameter.) See Figure 2 below.
Step 3
Attach the Hooded Dryer Vent in the desired
location with the arrows on the flange of the part
pointing up. Use an 8d nail or equivalent (to
include a #8 x 1" long or #8 x 1 1/2" long Zinc
Coated Screw) with a minimum of four attachments.
See Figure 3 below.
Step 5
Lock on the finishing trim ring. See Figures 5A and
5B below.
