AV200 Pro Tips:
- AV style Vents can be cut down to fit smaller sizes in length.
- Extra mesh length was provided to piece multiple vents or vent trimmings together for longer rafter spacing / openings. •
- Height dimension can be adjusted by tilting if installing into soffit opening for a tight fit.
- Removing old screen/ mesh improves air flow.
- Use Painters Caulk to fill gaps and transitions for a higher grade finish.
- Upgrade the Provided Screws:
For Copper and SS vents, we recommend using 1- 1/2" or 2" low profile Stainless Steel Star Drive Flat-Head Wood Deck Screws. But those require specialty drivers and are not included. For concrete & masonry installation, we recommend swapping out the screws to Masonry type screws (See FV style masonry installation instructions). - Black-out Paint Jam Sill:
On high-end jobs, after removing old vent and vent screen, Black-out Paint the rafter framing blocks/ area behind the new EZRvent Easy Eave and in vent opening with black spray paint. This really makes backgrounds disappear and the finished job look great!
