This was easy to install, took about an hour to do. Works great, old vent always clogged up with lint, after using for a few weeks there is no sign of lint collecting in vent pipe or cap. I painted it before installing so it would blend in with roof. It's so nice to not have to go up on roof and clean vent cap out like I did with the previous cap. Will never use another kind again.

4" conduit is closer to 4 1/8th but it still works very well.

I just installed this product on my house. Could not find anything suitable at [...] and so found this on on-line. One tip--if you plan to paint it, read up on how to paint galvanized steel. Do NOT use spray paint, or even a spray primer directly on the galavanized steel, it will peel and bubble. I used a special primer (applied with a brush) made just for aluminum and galvanized steel, found it at [...] (made by Rustoleum). Then I painted over the primer with a regular black spray paint. Looks great, highly recommended.

Excellent design for dryer venting through roof.
Gauge of metal thinner than expected.
Seems built to last.

Vent is being used for dryer roof exhaust, the pipevent was about 4.5" inches instead of 4" inches, so there was not a good fit/seal into the piping in the attic, had to tape to seal it. My husband installed it, had to use one new piece of roofing to get it to fit/blend properly into the roof. It vents great, my dryer doesn't get hot now. It was a shiny steal, we spray painted it a dark brown to blend in with the roof, looks great. Works MUCH better then the other thing that was installed on the roof.

Great resource for products not available locally.

It is not painted, and the shiny galvanized metal would be mis-placed on a dark roof. No problem to prime and paint to match my other fixtures.

I got this vent because it looked more solid than the ones I could find in local stores. I'm not good at heights, so I had a local contractor install it for me. He commented that it looked heavy-duty. It took him about 45 minutes from the time he put up his ladder until I handed him $40, money well-spent from my point of view. The only odd thing is that the flange going through the roof is bigger than a standard 4" vent pipe. I ran caulk around the inside of the joint and used metal tape to wrap the seam. It's working great. The only reason I didn't give the vent 5 stars is because it's pretty industrial looking for a house. 4 1/2 starts would be closer.
