Exhaust hoods:

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and
insects from entering the home.

Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object
that may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes,
or snow).
■
Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws
or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct
