Vent Screeds
Manufacturer's Specification
It is possible to punch Vent Slots into many of Flannery’s Aluminum Extrusions, thus providing the needed ventilation for any project. All Vent Slots are 1/8” wide and 1” long. They are configured at 1½” on center lengthwise and ½” on center laterally. Each row of Vent Slots lengthwise provides approximately one-square inch of vented area per lineal foot (see Vent Area Graph below).
Attach Vent Screeds to the framing with nails, screws, or other approved fastening methods. To ease installation, Flannery offers Aluminum Alignment Splices for most of its Vent Screeds (see page 2). All Vent Screeds must be cut accurately and installed with tight, neat joints. All nailing flanges must be covered with lath and all butt joints must be sealed. Manufacturer recommends that a carbide tip blade along with lubricant be used when cutting any aluminum trims. Please specify Flannery Product Code along with the phrase “with Vent” (i.e. “PCS 75-200 with Vent”) when ordering Vent Screeds.
