New constuction stucco, dryer vent flashing?

5 years ago

I'm doing stucco wrap plus one coat stucco over half inch foam. There are are lots of obvious solutions for window and door flashing. I found some great arlington electrical boxes. Now I'm a bit dumbfounded by the dryer vent.
The one story house is on a crawl and the dryer vent will come out the rim joist near the ground.
I've searched for a 7/8" deep mounting block or flange for a 4 inch vent, but not found much. I want something that easily flashes into the wrb.
I did find this thing:

Also found this flanged stucco dryer vent, bit it doesn't seem to be available anywhere

Given how common one coat stucco over wrb is in new construction, I though there would be some obvious dryer vent products. What do you use?

Use the metal unit, mount on surface of shear panel (plywood/OSB). Lather will paper (felt) under the bottom and sides, over the top and likely use acrylic caulk to seal the edges, all for water proofing. Paint.

Most HVAC contractors would supply a version of the metal unit unless they have excluded all but the HVAC system.

@Jeffrey R. Grenz, General Contractor thanks! I'll go with the metal (steel) version. I just need to find a place to buy one, ideally with the stucco stop like the one in the link. So far I've not found a place to buy one.
