Questions & Answers
The flap is designed to close by gravity for when it is not in use, so it works as an exhaust. You could probably take off the flap piece since it's just a piece of plastic, and make it into an intake system with a filter. Depending on your intended intake, you would need to have either a rig or a system.

Ventilating the bathroom properly without drilling a hole in the roof was made possible with this exhaust vent. A good flow of air can be achieved through the soffit vent. Nonetheless, it is unnecessarily flimsy and would have been a 5 star product if it were more robustly constructed. (I live in a warm climate, so I have no knowledge of its performance or durability in cold weather. ) Please review the following complaint There is a slight bend in the thin plastic damper, which makes it difficult for it to seat properly when shut. Making a small bend to adjust the damper square would be quite simple if the damper were made of metal. But the plastic it is made of simply bounces back to its original distorted form. This gap is larger than an eighth of an inch, which is large enough to allow a roach to pass Note (
It uses 4 inches of ducting, but you must cut a hole of 412 inches to mount it. Having extra room is imperative so that there's enough room for the duct clamp to fit through. It is very important not to distort the easily distorted housing by using the mounting screws (none included) or the damper will bind and will not work as it should. As soon as the time comes to reshingle I intend to convert this into a roof exhaust It is a good temporary solution to preventing mold and mildew in the bathroom until then. Anybody who knows of a high quality version of this design would be appreciated if they could let me know.
If you use the product in a warm climate, it will work effectively. This is the only way for me to vent out of the soffit, though it is not my first choice. A vent such as this one directs air away from the edge of the roof, preventing it from being sucked back into the attic (vented soffit) in the form of Despite the fact that the flapper is removable, it freezes shut as a result of There is a paperclip on the edge and it keeps the window open a little, but it Being that it had never been vented prior and went into my attic, it is better than it was. Fix it in a flash.
Although I love the product, I will caution you that it will cause ice/frost to build up on the vinyl soffit during EXTREME cold (continued temperatures below zero F for long periods).
There were only a couple of small vents available in the big stores since I needed a small soffit vent. Not a fan of the look, it was also too big for me. Amazon saved the day, so off we go to their website. Upon stumbling upon these guys, I noticed that they had a simple, plastic louvered door that mounted to the soffit. As low profile as they are, they do the trick as vents. There are no screws on this item so be sure to have four on hand for each cover, as stated in other reviews. If you fall on a groove, drill pilot holes in the soffit. It can usually be fixed by pitching the screw towards the inside. I had one that caused my door to In about ten minutes, I installed it after removing it from the vent frame. I drilled a 4 1/8" hole and sent it away from the vent frame.
We installed the vent under 12" of overhang on our roof and it worked well. Besides not being able to keep yellow jackets out, the only thing we disliked was the lack of enclosure. In order to cover the opening, we bought some plastic screen and cut it around the inside of the vent. In order to prevent future screen replacements, the contractor taped the panels down with blue painter's tape (to remove if we needed to replace it later). He then screwed the two pieces together and hung the screen from It is common for yellow jacket nests to appear throughout the countryside where we live. If we did not install screening, it would only be a matter of time before they got into our vents and then into our attics. I have encountered no problems so far, other than the vent hole being difficult to seal, but it was just installed in October.
That was the only exhaust fan soffit cover with a baffle I could find with four inches. As a result, it fit well and was easy to install. I have no issue with the baffle gravity closing, and it fits tight enough to keep out wasps or other insects of similar size as well as outside air. Despite the fact that it is made of plastic, it is built sufficiently well to meet the application's requirements. As this baffle only rides on a plastic pin, the only question is how well it will hold up to weather exposure. This would have been a better design if nylon had been used. On the whole, I am pleased with the product and like that it is made in the U. S.
Compared to what they are made of, these can be designed better, and would be a better As I am putting in a new bathroom, I am concerned that the ventilation system will be too restrictive, which may increase the noise of the fan and even cause warm moist air to leak out of the connection to I ordered it because it was the only design I could find that would direct air away from the underside of the soffit, and my soffit is vented, so warm moist air should not be blown into my soffit as it would encourage mold growth. I went to install the system on a very cold day. A tab that holds the flapper in place broke after I dropped the vent on a wooden deck about 2' deep. The room was well below freezing that day, but I did not think the metal was so fragile in any case, I installed it in an effort to block the hole, but had to order a new It's a second story installation, so I had to get the ladder out a second time, which took a few hours to set up and takedown, and 15 minutes to reinstall now that the hole had been reviews complain about the flapper freezing shut and I can see how that could occur. Again, I am not impressed with the design and quality, but I found no better option for my needs.
It is 76) Unless you have a smaller hose or hoses like me, these clamps will be too large and useless. You'll need socket head screws, which work best with this project. Get the screws at an area hardware store. Since the build only requires 4 screws, you'll want to pick up at least 8 so that if you lose one, you won't be out of luck. In order to attach a smaller hose to this vent, I set it up as it was originally. The only thing I did was drill a small hole in the front of the top round part, connect the vent, and it was all set.
