IMPORTANT: This cover is designed specifically for outdoor use on 4x4" square vents only. It will not work with round, rectangle or indoor vent systems.
After trying retail options that require tools, can break easily, and are not durable in weather we had to design our own solution to stop birds and minimize lint collection. Note - this listing is for the vent cover only. The vent hood is not included.
After a fresh cleaning by a local service, we tested our Dryer Vent Protector by waiting for 1 full year with it installed. When the cleaning service returned they did not need to clean anything but the dryer itself. They recommended cleanings every two to three years going forward.
If you want to protect your vents from birds and other critters while maintaining unrestricted airflow (like normal vents with flaps and panels) then this part will work for you.
Once printed
- Slide the vent protector onto your dryer vent from the bottom and into the slots on the top of the vent protector. Optional but not required: Use M3x5mm bolts in the holes right and left of the cover. Not all may be required for the best fit.
Disclaimer: If your dryer vent that you want the vent protector installed on is bent or warped out of normal shape this product should not be used to repair or bend the dry vent into shape. Using this part in this way may break either the existing cover or the printed part. Depending on the amount of damage to your vent the vent protector should not be used until the dryer vent shroud is repaired.
