This engineered flood vent is certified by ICC-ES and meets NFIP requirements. It opens automatically to let floodwater through and also allows continuous air circulation. It is designed for crawl spaces, garages and other enclosed areas below base flood elevation.
The vent is molded from engineered ABS plastic with UV stabilizers, so it resists sunlight, temperature extremes and weather. Unlike metal, it does not rust, and unlike wood, it does not rot. An included trim frame gives a finished look and covers the 16" × 8" rough opening.
The 5-inch depth fits standard foundation wall thicknesses common in residential construction. It can be installed in crawl space foundation walls, walkout enclosures, garages, storage buildings, metal buildings, foyers and stairway enclosures. It suits any enclosed area under predicted flood levels where both flood protection and airflow are needed.
