If installed 3 feet from the peak of the roof on a pitch of 3/12 or greater, this vent can be installed in climate zones 1-4. However, if installed less than 18 inches from the peak on a roof pitch of 4/12 or greater, this vent can be installed in all climate zones.

This static vent is ideal for venting out bathroom fans or range hoods. In addition, the round design is aerodynamic to withstand wind speeds up to 200 mph. The 3 inch Round Back Vent is great for residential roof applications because of its low profile. It can also be painted to match the color of the asphalt shingles.

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.
*Please note
The roof vent calculation values shown above are for the exhaust portion of the roof. The same amount of net free air inches is needed for air intake as well. Proper roof ventilation consists of 50% air exhaust and 50% air intake.
