Overhead Garage Door Insulated 16 in x 8 in Flood Vent
Flood Protection Only:
For flood protection, the Smart Vent door is always latched closed until flood waters enter. Rising water lifts the patented internal float latch, releasing the flood door to rotate open. Flood water enters and exits, equalizing water pressure.
Flood Protection And Ventilation:
In addition to the flood protection, Dual Function Models have vent louvers that open and close automatically as temperatures change. Closed in cold weather, open in warm weather for automatic garage ventilation.
Retrofitting:
Install in new or existing garage doors. Template provided for door cut out. Stainless Steel fasteners included.
