Temp-Vent Foundation Vent System Series 5 (Two Piece Construction)

are quick, convenient and economical when it comes to controlling moisture and odor problems

. Help protect your foundation with Temp-Vent! Your foundation is critical to your home's integrity. That’s why foundation ventilation is critical. Unventilated foundations are subject to moisture build-up which leading to even more costly damage. Critical areas of the home are protected by Temp Vent foundation vent systems! What’s more, ventilation can help control conditions that lead to:

• mold
• mildew
• fungi
• damp rot
• and unhealthy air

But there’s more. If there’s one thing termites are attracted to, it’s warm, moist, dead air environments such as those found under houses in crawl spaces or unfinished basements.

Temp-Vent foundation vents are designed to provide ventilation that can reduce moisture in these areas, which helps control termites.

A crawl space dehumidier with no drain or power needed!

Whenever possible, vents should be placed on all sides of the foundation. This will create an intake/exhaust system that delivers a steady flow of air. One vent should be installed for each 8 to 10 feet of foundation wall.

Most building codes require 1 square foot of open ventilation area for every 150 square feet of crawl space. Temp Vent Automatic Foundation Vents have 50 inches of net free area per vent. Therefore, you should install one vent for every 50 square feet of crawl space. For crawl spaces with polyethylene installed, on 80-90% of the ground, the ventilation requirement changes to 1 square foot of ventilation for every 500 square feet of crawl space with a minimum of 4 vents installed to provide cross ventilation. For crawl spaces with polyethylene, install at least one vent for every 500 square feet of crawl space.

The non-powered, Automatic Vent will open and close automatically using a heat/cold sensitive coil. The louvers open completely at approximately 72°F and completely close at approximately 38°F. Unlike manual vents that waste energy when they are not opened or closed correctly, these self-adjusting vents conserve all year long. UL recognized and CSA certified. Hole in wall should be 15 1/8" X 7 1/2"
Can be used with Ratsorb deodorant for EVEN BETTER results!
