Tjernlund Products VH1-4 Aluminum Hood
The Tjernlund VH1-4 is a professional-grade 4-inch aluminum vent hood engineered specifically for side wall vent systems and horizontal terminations of gas-fired equipment. This heavy-duty assembly is constructed from 20-gauge corrosion-resistant aluminum, ensuring a long service life even when exposed to high-temperature flue gases up to 550°F gross. Designed to maintain the structural integrity of the building’s exterior, the VH1-4 features an integrated heat shield that provides necessary clearance from combustible materials, making it a critical component for safe sidewall vent termination. The 9x9 inch flange and 8x8 inch rough-in dimensions allow for a secure fit, while the included mounting hardware streamlines the installation process for HVAC contractors. By effectively managing airflow and exhaust, this sidewall termination hood prevents moisture buildup and soot damage on exterior surfaces, maintaining both system performance and building aesthetics.
