This Universal Vent is an off-ridge vent that can be an exhaust or intake vent. This off-ridge vent is a static vent suitable for installation on sloped roofs or parapet walls. This model is the UV-75, which is 55 inches long and has 75 inches of Net Free Area (NFA).
AVP's Universal vent can work as an intake or an exhaust vent. If placed on the upper portion of the roof, it can be an exhaust vent. However, when placed on the lower end of a pitched roof, it can be used as an air intake vent, similar to a soffit vent.
This off-ridge roof vent is also excellent for ventilating parapet walls. It allows the buildup of heat and moisture within the wall to escape.
How it works:
The 1/8-inch opening between the louvers keeps out precipitation and wildlife while allowing air to move freely.
In addition to its functionality, it has a low-profile design that looks pleasing on shingled roofs and parapet walls. The hooded vent design and horizontal louvers will keep out rain and snow. Powder-coating colors are available to match the color of your roof.
The diameter size of all roof vents determines the Net Free Area, also known as the "NFA". NFA is the measured amount of opening each vent offers at each specific size. to be available for venting air through a specific vent size. The calculator below will find the overall number of vents needed to effectively ventilate the targeted attic space.
Once you have the area, the numbers shown below are the number of vents of that size which would ventilate the specified area with both 1/300 and 1/150 rule.
