Pros & Cons
Pros
The birdscreen is removable for access to the backdraft damper, which is also removable for replacing the gaskets. The new hood has a built in damper.
Cons
Using this vent cap would be like putting retreads on a ferrari. The door in the vent is out of position and not working. The damper is flimsy and was not in place.
Highlights
Quality
The quality is good, sheet metal with baked enamel finish.
As opposed to plastic roof jacks, roofing cement can be used in direct contact with this product.
Price
The screen will need to be cleaned periodically but that's the price you pay to get the screens benefits.
Competitiveness
Just installed this for a dedicated vent for a broan range hood (previous hood did not have an exterior venting option).

Special care was needed to ensure the internal bug screen and vent flap assembly were installed correctly as these can easily move out of place during shipment and handling during installation

Our old vent cap did not have a flap and when our furnace to our home would turn on i could feel the cold air coming in thru the kitchen hood and the heater would turn on like 4 times in 1hour

Once i installed this product it stopped the cold air from coming in and now the furnace turns on 2x in the hour

Good cap but there is not a way to tie the duct to it

I had to modify it with a piece of sheet metal and a 734 collar
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I did however replace the screens myself with a finer mesh to prevent bees and othe insects from visiting
