Product Description

The Universal VentGuard™ is made with a laser-cut mounting frame with pre-drilled ¼” holes for simple, sturdy installation. The pre-drilled holes feature a keyhole design, allowing the cover to slide on and off with ease for routine vent maintenance. The covers themselves are forged from 100% 304 stainless steel with an 18-gauge ⅝” mesh to seal out nuisance wildlife while promoting proper ventilation. They install easily over most 3” and 4” exhaust vents, and they’re made in the USA. Available in both black and white powder coat finishes.

Universal VentGuard™ is non code-compliant for use with dryer vents.
