Where to Install:
Exhaust vents with a collar height of 8 inches or greater are typically used for low-slope or flat-roof ventilation. However, if the roof slopes low, the vent should be on the upper portion of the roof. This roof vent can be installed on a 0/12 to 5/12 pitch roof in all climate zones. See the installation guides for help installing.
18-inch diameter roof vents are commercial size and should be used in commercial settings. For those looking to ventilate their homes, please view roof vents with a smaller diameter.
How it Operates:
The Aura Gravity Ventilator works like a roof turbine with no moving parts.
Aura Gravity Ventilators rely on the Venturi Effect, which occurs when the wind blows against the outer louvers. This creates a spinning upward draft through the vent, allowing air to flow dynamically. Even the slightest breeze can create exhaust ventilation to draw out air from the attic.
The Aura Gravity Roof Vents are made of durable, rust-free aluminum. The vent head has a flat, one-piece spun lid that prevents rain and snow from entering the vent. The round aerodynamic design can withstand harsh weather and wind forces beyond 200 mph. Therefore, wind speeds of 11 mph for an 18-inch Gravity Ventilator produce 634 CFM of air exhaust for attic ventilation.
The inner louvers of the roof vent prevent insects and animals from entering the attic. The louvers also allow the air to flow freely to the outside.
AVP’s Aura Gravity Vents are UL-listed, rated up to 50+ PSF or wind pressure above 200 MPH, and certified by the Texas Department of Insurance, & Florida State Approved.
