This 12"W x 12"H exterior gable vent is made of unpainted anodized aluminum. It provides passive ventilation for an attic, gable, or crawl space by letting air move in and out through a louvered face. It mounts on an exterior wall or gable end. It is not an HVAC supply or return grille.
The extruded aluminum frame is rigid and resists rust, weathering, and warping. A fixed 1/2" x 1/2" galvanized steel bird screen sits behind the louvers and keeps out birds and squirrels. The screen does not come off and is not an insect screen.
The vent is sized by the wall opening, not the outer face. To measure, remove the existing vent and measure the width and height of the opening itself. To install, position the vent over the opening with the louvered face pointing outward and confirm the frame sits flush against the wall. Then secure it with the included screws, without overtightening, since excess force can distort the frame.
