Tjernlund Products VH1-6 Aluminum Hood
The Tjernlund VH1-6 6-inch aluminum hood is a professional-grade solution engineered specifically for side wall vent termination in mechanical draft and high-temperature exhaust systems. Fabricated from 20-gauge 5052 aluminum, this corrosion-resistant vent hood is designed to handle the rigorous demands of Type L vent and Category I gas appliance applications, supporting temperatures up to 575°F. It is commonly utilized with Tjernlund HS2 and other side wall vent systems to ensure safe and efficient extraction of combustion gases while preventing backdrafts and pest infiltration.
For technicians working in tight clearances, the VH1-6 features a built-in heat shield, providing essential protection for combustible wall materials. This model fits a 6" nominal duct and requires a 9-inch rough-in opening for proper seating. The flat silver finish and heavy-duty corrosion-resistant construction ensure that building exteriors remain clean and structurally sound, despite constant exposure to flue gases. This termination hood is the industry standard for maintaining NFPA 54 and NFPA 211 clearances in horizontal venting configurations.
Key Benefits
- High-Temperature Durability: Rated for up to 575°F, making it suitable for gas and oil-fired equipment.
- Integrated Safety: Includes a factory-installed heat shield to maintain safe clearances from combustible surfaces.
- Rugged Construction: Built from heavy-duty 5052 aluminum for long-term resistance to oxidation and environmental wear.
- Easy Installation: Ships with all necessary mounting hardware and fasteners for immediate field deployment.
- Code Compliance: Designed to meet stringent vent termination standards for side wall applications.
Common Questions
Can the VH1-6 be used with oil-fired appliances?
Yes, its 5052 aluminum construction and high-temperature rating allow it to be used in side wall vent systems for both gas and oil-fired heaters.
Does this hood require a separate wall thimble?
While the VH1-6 includes an integrated heat shield for many applications, always verify local codes and the specific wall material to determine if an additional thimble is required for your specific installation.
Is a backdraft damper included in this model?
This specific termination hood is a fixed-opening design and does not include an internal backdraft damper; it is intended for use with powered venters that manage airflow control.
