User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be mounted on a flat roof? What is distance to the bottom of vent opening? I would like to use with foam roof
Answer:	No. It will only work on a pitched roof. They do make one for a flat roof. Ask at any building supply place.
Question:	Is it galvanized steel (painted black) as stated in the description, or is it steel that is painted black
Answer:	If it's galvanized as the manufacturer states, it's a poor grade. I am skeptical about the "powder coat" claim too. Mine has serious, shingle-staining surface rust in less than 3 years of exposure. True powder coat should last longer than that, and even if it flakes off the supposed "galvanized" metal shouldn't rust. I'd steer clear of this item, it won't last the life of the roof.
Question:	I understand that the damper slams up and down in the wind but other 4" galvanized vents have solved that problem.Anybody know which ones
Answer:	I have 2 of these installed on my roof for the bathroom exhaust fans. Neither of the units I have have ever had the damper slam up and down in the wind. If this happens it's because they are installed at an improper angle or not secured correctly.
Question:	How high does this stick up above the roof plane? It looks much taller than the Broan 634m
Answer:	Hi Chris,The roof fiting measures 6.5 inches in the middle,the highest point and about 4.5 at the exhaust opening. Hope this helpsRobert

User questions & answers

Question:	pulled flapper, replaced cheesy strip at front of flap and added to other three sides with 3/16 thick, 3/8 wide foam weather strip. is this ok
Answer:	No
Question:	What is the function of a roof vent cap? Does it keep rain water out of house, or just keep animals out
Answer:	I used one for my dryer venting through the roof and one for my bathroom fan vent. It is designed to keep the rain out and of course animals. This particular one is the "vent cap only", you really need to buy the same cap with the vent pipe or you will wind up having to buy the vent cap separately.
Question:	Can the damper get frozen shut in the winter
Answer:	It's possible, but not too likely. And even if it does, when the bath fan is turned on there will probably be enough air leakage that it would thaw the flap in a minute or two.
Question:	I have a 12 in wide metal roof and I need to put a vent to vent out heat from the roof . Would the brown 636 work to do this
Answer:	It could probably be made to work, but that's not what this vent cap was intended for. It has a flap in it that is normally closed, that would have to be removed. (This vent cap is normally used for a bathroom vent fan that will push the flap open when the fan is running.) Depending upon the style of metal roof you have, it may be difficult to get this vent cap sealed properly. This one is designed to have its upper flashing edge under shingles. If your "12 in wide metal" is in horizontal rows, that may work. Also, this vent cap is significantly smaller than what it normally used for roof vents. It will probably take three times as many of these as regular roof vents, to vent a given area of roof. In short, yes it probably could be used for a roof vent, but it would not be ideal.

Answer:	No, It can't. The fan is powered by solar energy and fully automatic operation, Zero electricity consumption.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this vent be placed behind the dryer? We have front load stackable, just curios if this should be on the side or can go directly behind
Answer:	It has to be placed so air can flow through it. So I would say it is a function of how much room you have got behind. We actually have ours attached to the outside vent that is under our patio roof but we have a house. I don't know if that's possible in your case.
Question:	Are the filters washable/reusable? How much use are you getting before they need to be replaced
Answer:	I read the comments below... As I am getting ready to order new filters. I have had this system for approximately 3 months and even ordered a replacement package of filters when I purchased it. I appreciate the suggestions as I have found the filters need to be replaced more often than noted. I have found this system to work well my only complaint is with the filters. I do laundry for my husband and I ..so not what I consider to be a lot. If possible, I believe the screen used with the filter should be smaller allowing more of the lint to be trapped by it instead of the filter.
Question:	Does the unit need to be mounted on a wall or can it be laid on the top of the dryer
Answer:	Mine isn't mounted but it rather wedged between the dryer and the wall. Because it's waterless I believe you could lay it or possibly lean it if you wanted.
Question:	I just noticed that the box said for Electric Dryers. Does that mean it will not work with my Gas Dryer
Answer:	I am glad I read all these answers, they were very helpful. Now I know for my application this product will work great. I am installing a Gas Dryer on a back porch with an awning over it. The vent line is difficult to run cleanly away from the porch. I was concerned about all that lint, but I believe since I am exterior, no fume issues in an enclosed indoor space, this product should serve me well. Does anyone force any issues? Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this keep bees out
Answer:	No. The holes are slightly larger than a normal cell in a honeycomb.
Question:	Does the lint get stuck
Answer:	Just like any guard, lnk may collect. Be sure to install it so you can remove it to remove excess lint. Install it with edges bent inward not ourward.
Question:	can this be bent
Answer:	We cut it to size to cover the hole then covered it with the louvers so that nothing could get in. It's been working great! It's been a couple years so we're trying to think of the best way to describe it. It could be bent if needed but it's a pretty stiff metal.
Question:	Will it keep geckos out
Answer:	Nothing keeps geckos out. They can get in there and the next thing you know, you’re buying their insurance policies.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you sell an oval one for in wall installation
Answer:	This is designed to be screwed onto the wall.
Question:	Why can't this item be used with a gas dryer
Answer:	I assume it is because it is made of plastic. Gas dryers may run hotter exhaust than electric dryers therefore increasing the risk of fire. I put this on an electric dryer to reduce the amount of lint that would accumulate in a long exhaust run. Seems well made.
Question:	Is this for 6" duct or 4" duct
Answer:	This is for a 4 inch duct.
Question:	does it come with hose clamps
Answer:	Yes, it comes with two hose clamps.

ProClean Dryer Duct Lint Trap

This product helps to eliminate excess lint within the duct, reducing the risk of dryer fire occurring and allowing the air to pass more easily through the duct, saving energy as the dryer runs more efficiently and in turn helping to reduce your home energy costs.
