Extruded 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. Extruded construction provides a quality finished appearance. A high water stop at the rear and deep overlapping blades with storm stops provide maximum resistance to rain and weather.
