Overview
Westland's VID403A kit replaces a dryer's exterior vent cover, ducting and flap seal in one package, built with a slim profile for retrofit installs where clearance is tight.
The real audience skews toward RV and tight-clearance installs based on reviewer use cases, several of whom paired it with Splendide combo washer-dryers. The included ducting length isn't universal; at least one buyer needed extra hose to reach their dryer outlet. The exterior cover mounts with two screws rather than snapping off, which one reviewer flagged as awkward for a part that may need removing again for duct cleaning.
- Includes vent cover, flexible ducting and clamps
- Built-in flap and insect seal with tailpipe
- 6.5 x 6.19 x 1.63 inch cover footprint
- Made in the United States
Who it's for
Fits owners replacing a dryer vent cover in a space-limited installation, including RV and camper setups with combo units like the Splendide WD2100XC. Less ideal for anyone who wants a snap-off cover for frequent duct cleaning access.
Pros and cons
- Low-profile cover fits tight RV clearances
- Hidden-tab design locks cover with two screws
- Fits Splendide combo washer-dryer vent needs
- Included hose may be too short for some runs
- Cover requires unscrewing for duct access
- Flap can rattle during spin cycle on some units
Performance notes
The flap seal can flutter or rattle in sync with a dryer's spin cycle on some combo units, which one reviewer traced to air pulses from the machine rather than a defect in the kit. Because the screw-mounted cover isn't a quick-release design, repeated removal for cleaning will wear the mounting holes over time.
