Worked well for my project
This is a good quality vent. It easily fastened to the standard 4" pipe from the existing installation, with the groove cut for the pipe "spine". The vendor not including screws makes sense, since the product will be used in so many different ways. I needed 2" screws for my application. As others have stated, the outer hood fits a bit loosely, but a small screw driven through the top of the cover into the bottom "frame" solves that. Just back the screw out when you want to delint the cage. The louvers are a second defense against critters. All in all a smart product I can easily recommend.
