Need a Screened Termination Without Adding a Bend?
Some compatible sidewall furnace terminations are designed to remain straight. When that open PVC pipe needs a physical barrier against birds, rodents, insects, leaves and outdoor debris, the LGQF-LL 2 Inch 0 Degree PVC Vent Screen Cap adds a fixed stainless steel screen in a short, low-profile body.
- Made for compatible 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC furnace vent pipe
- Outer-fit connection for pipe measuring 2.36–2.375 inches outside diameter
- Straight 0-degree body keeps the outlet aligned with the existing pipe
- Integrated 304 stainless steel mesh helps deter pests and larger debris
- Small condensation drainage openings provide a path for incidental moisture
- Designed for compatible sidewall furnace intake and exhaust terminations
A Straight Screen Cap Has a Different Job
The 0-degree body does not turn the outlet downward. The screened face stays aligned with the existing pipe, which keeps the installation compact but provides less directional weather shielding than an angled model. Use it only where the appliance instructions permit a straight screened termination.
Confirm the Pipe Before You Confirm the Order
1. Check the Material
Confirm that the existing sidewall termination is compatible PVC pipe.
2. Measure the OD
Measure across the outside of the pipe. This cap requires an actual outside diameter of 2.36–2.375 inches.
3. Check the Configuration
Verify that the furnace manufacturer permits a straight, screened sidewall termination.
“2 inch” is the nominal size. The outside-diameter measurement determines whether this outer-fit cap can slide over the pipe.
What This 0-Degree Model Actually Provides
Straight, Low-Profile Body
The short PVC sleeve adds a screened end without introducing a 45-, 90- or 180-degree turn. It is intended for installations where a straight termination is permitted.
304 Stainless Steel Mesh
The fixed mesh helps deter birds, rodents, insects, leaves and larger debris while keeping the pipe visibly open.
Condensation Drainage Openings
Small openings near the screened rim give incidental moisture a path out. They do not guarantee that water, frost or ice can never collect.
Outer-Fit Sleeve
The sleeve pushes over compatible pipe measuring 2.36–2.375 inches OD. It is not an internal insert and should not reduce the pipe opening by occupying the inside diameter.
Straight and Compact Does Not Mean Universal
The furnace manufacturer must permit a straight screened termination. A screen and exposed forward-facing outlet may affect airflow, maintenance and weather exposure. This product cannot override the appliance instructions.
- Use only for a compatible sidewall furnace intake or exhaust termination.
- Do not use this model as a vertical rooftop termination.
- Do not expect the straight face to provide the same directional weather shielding as an angled cap.
- Do not treat it as a sealed cap, backdraft damper, check valve or safety control.
- Do not install it on incompatible material or an unverified pipe diameter.
- Confirm screening permission, airflow limits, vent length and required clearances.
- Keep the mesh accessible for inspection and routine maintenance.
What Customers Mention After Receiving It
Customers tend to focus on three practical details: whether the cap matches the intended pipe, whether the construction feels solid and whether the product arrives as described.
“They fit my 2-inch pipe perfectly.”
“Very well made.”
“Exactly what I was looking for.”
These are individual customer experiences. Pipe dimensions and system requirements vary, so measure the actual pipe and check the furnace instructions before ordering.

For People Who Prefer a Correct Fit Over a Quick Guess
A careful homeowner notices the exposed pipe, measures the outside diameter and checks the furnace manual before choosing a cap. That small amount of attention is what separates a part that merely looks close from one selected for the actual installation.
LGQF-LL builds practical PVC vent protection for homeowners and installers who value clear dimensions, durable materials and honest limits. This 0-degree model is intentionally simple: a straight outer-fit body with a fixed screen for an approved straight termination.

Learn Before You Install
A screen cap is only one part of a complete furnace vent system. These guides explain common outdoor problems and the checks that belong around the product decision:
Frequently Asked Questions
What pipe size does this 0-degree screen cap fit?
It is designed as an outer-fit cap for compatible 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe measuring 2.36–2.375 inches outside diameter. Measure the actual pipe before ordering.
Does this cap insert inside the pipe?
No. The PVC sleeve pushes over the outside of compatible pipe. It is not an insert-style screen.
What does 0 degree mean?
It means the screened face stays aligned with the existing pipe. The product does not add a 45-, 90- or 180-degree directional bend.
Why does a 2-inch pipe measure 2.36–2.375 inches outside?
Two inches is the nominal pipe size. The actual outside diameter is larger, which is why measuring the existing pipe matters.
Can it be used on both furnace intake and exhaust terminations?
It is designed for compatible sidewall furnace intake and exhaust terminations, but only when the furnace manufacturer permits a straight screened termination.
Does the straight cap protect against rain like a 90-degree model?
No. Its forward-facing screened outlet does not provide the same directional weather shielding as a downward-facing angled cap. Choose the shape required by the appliance and actual location.
Does the screen provide zero airflow restriction?
No such guarantee should be made. Any screen can affect a vent system. Confirm screening permission, airflow limits and maintenance requirements in the furnace instructions.
Do the drainage openings prevent freezing?
No. They provide a path for incidental moisture but cannot guarantee that frost or ice will not form. Weather, condensation, placement and appliance operation all matter.
Can this model be installed as a roof vent cap?
No. This page describes a straight outer-fit screen cap intended for compatible sidewall furnace terminations, not a vertical rooftop termination.
Should the cap be glued to the pipe?
Follow the appliance instructions and local installation requirements. Do not use adhesive or permanently modify the termination unless the applicable instructions permit it.
Choose the Straight Model Only When the System Calls for It
Confirm compatible PVC, measure a 2.36–2.375 inch pipe OD and verify that a straight screened termination is permitted. Those checks turn a quick purchase into a confident decision.

Important Installation Notice
Always follow the furnace or appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions, local building requirements, allowable vent length, airflow limits, weather-exposure guidance and termination clearances. Inspect the mesh periodically and remove external accumulation only when the appliance is safely shut down and the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions permit access.
