InOvate DryerJack 486 4" Extra-Clearance Dryer Roof Vent

Extra-Clearance Dryer Roof Vent for High-Airflow Dryer Exhaust

The InOvate DryerJack 486 is a heavy-duty 4-inch dryer roof vent designed specifically for clothes dryer exhaust systems. Its extra-clearance design provides increased airflow space beneath the hood while helping reduce lint buildup and airflow restriction.

Engineered for efficient dryer exhaust termination through the roof, the DryerJack 486 features a large opening, smooth airflow path and gravity-operated damper that opens easily during dryer operation and closes when the dryer is off.

Built from durable galvanized steel, the DryerJack 486 is designed for residential, multifamily and commercial dryer exhaust applications where reliable airflow and long-term performance are important.
