Deflect-O Universal 3-4-Inch Exterior Dryer Vent Bird Guard - UBGW

Deflect-O Universal 3-4-Inch Exterior Dryer Vent Bird Guard - UBGW

Help protect the exterior dryer vent from birds and debris with this Deflect-O Universal 3-4-Inch Exterior Dryer Vent Bird Guard - UBGW. This exterior guard is used where a dryer vent termination needs added protection without blocking the exhaust path.

UBGW is a universal exterior dryer vent guard for 3-inch to 4-inch vent openings. It is selected by vent cover size and exterior wall clearance rather than by dryer model number.

Fitment / What To Verify: Verify the outside vent hood dimensions, 3-inch or 4-inch vent size, wall clearance, screw-mounting area, flap movement, and local code requirements. A vent guard must not restrict lint discharge or prevent the vent damper from opening fully.

Please confirm fitment with your dryer vent termination size before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Birds, pests, leaves, or debris entering the vent hood; damaged exterior cover; or lint collecting around an unprotected vent opening.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Broken louvers, missing guard, blocked damper, loose exterior fasteners, or nests/debris near the termination.

Pro Tip: Clean the dryer vent and confirm the damper opens freely after installing any guard. A restricted dryer vent can cause long dry times and overheating.
