About this asset

Modelled as a Revit family, this exterior dryer vent provides an angled hood cap and a cylindrical through-wall exhaust duct sleeve. Physically constructed for building envelope penetrations, the assembly consists of a circular horizontal exhaust pipe sleeve that passes through multi-layer wall assemblies and terminates at an angled exterior hood. Rendered in a neutral grey finish, the downward-deflecting hood protects the outlet from precipitation while allowing exhaust air to discharge cleanly away from the facade. The sleeve geometry extends fully through interior drywall, air cavity, and exterior cladding masonry, presenting a clean profile in both plan section and three-dimensional model views.

The download is a 399 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Designed for architectural and MEP workflows in Autodesk Revit, this component places directly into host walls to maintain proper alignment between interior laundry equipment and exterior elevations. Users can adjust placement height relative to floor levels and verify wall penetration clearances in section cuts. The clean family geometry avoids over-modelling while ensuring crisp line generation in exterior elevation sheets and coordination sections.

Suited for residential houses, multi-family apartments, student housing, and hospitality laundry facilities, this exterior exhaust vent completes exterior elevation detailing and service coordination drawings. It pairs logically with washing machines, tumble dryers, utility room casework, and exterior rainscreen or masonry wall types. Specifiers and BIM coordinators incorporate this family during design development and technical documentation stages to properly locate exterior penetrations, avoid structural clashes, and detail MEP terminations across architectural facades.
