Cast Aluminum

Brick Vent

Application and Design

Brick vents provide a permanent means of ventilation for crawl spaces, hung ceilings, incinerator rooms, chimney flues, foundations, pipe spaces and corridors. Cast aluminum construction, made from high corrosion resistant alloy #319, provides rugged load bearing capabilities. A water stop, deep overlapping blades and drips at the top and bottom of the casting, provide maximum resistance to rain and weather.
