Manrose Cowl Vent 4"

The Manrose 100mm (4") Cowl Vent is a high-quality, weatherproof external wall vent cover designed to protect duct terminations from rain, wind, and debris. Suitable for both domestic and commercial applications, this vent is ideal for use with extractor fans, tumble dryers, and general air ventilation systems. The aerodynamic cowl design reduces the risk of backdraughts and ingress of water, while also preventing blockages from leaves and other environmental elements.
