Overview

An exterior house wall where a power vented heater exhausts is where this Tjernlund hood mounts. It covers the vent outlet, directs exhaust away from the siding, and a heat shield adds clearance from combustible materials.

Protecting the siding while finishing a power vent termination neatly is its job. The listing is written for heater vents, and several specs appear copied from a kitchen hood.

Who it's for

HVAC installers and homeowners with sidewall vented heaters are the target. People venting a laundry dryer should use a dryer specific termination.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Corrosion resistant aluminum
  • Built in heat shield
  • Approved for many horizontal vents
Cons
  • Dryer use not stated
  • Several specs look unrelated

Performance notes

The hood shields the wall from hot exhaust and deflects flue gases outward, which is what prevents staining. The heat shield preserves clearance to combustible siding.
