About this asset

Dryer exhaust vent cap Revit family featuring a cylindrical through-wall duct sleeve and an angled exterior gravity louver hood. This exterior vent termination includes a horizontal circular duct penetration sleeve connected to an angled gravity hood designed to prevent backdraft and water ingress. Modelled in a neutral grey finish, the family illustrates a full through-wall assembly penetrating standard exterior envelope assemblies such as brick veneer and concrete masonry units. The exterior terminal features a downward-sloping protective hood profile that sits flush against the outer wall cladding, while the interior duct core extends neatly through the structural framing, air cavity, and interior wall finish.

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.

Engineered for architectural documentation and MEP coordination in Revit, this component can be placed directly onto exterior wall assemblies. The geometry accurately cuts or coordinates with wall openings to facilitate clear section views and detail callouts. Adjust sill height or offset parameters within project properties to align with interior dryer appliance locations, ensuring smooth integration across floor plans, elevations, and 3D coordination models.

Essential for single-family residences, townhouses, and multi-family residential developments, this vent cap serves laundry rooms, utility closets, and dedicated utility spaces. It coordinates effectively with laundry appliances, exterior brickwork, and MEP mechanical duct drawings during technical design phases. Incorporating this wall termination element provides accurate exterior elevations and builder documentation, resolving typical envelope penetration detailing for laundry exhaust pathways and HVAC ventilation schedules.
