Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello- Thanks so much for checking with us. We are happy to help! We don't allow anything other than a 4" round duct. Larger ducts reduce the air velocity and increase the opportunity for lint to fall out of the airstream and deposit on the inside of the ducting. It is necessary for an outside vent cap to have a cap that opens and closes as air passes through. This prevents wind and rain from entering the home. More importantly, it prevents small animals (mice, squirrels, chipmunks) from going down the vent pipe and nesting or storing food. Never install a screen or grid of any kind in or over the exhaust duct. This could cause lint build up. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you!
