We use the same active mesh in our eave and soffits as our other vents. All our vents offer the same level of fire protection.

2 :Vulcan Vents have passed ASTM E 2886. The test evaluates the effectiveness of a vent to withstand extreme heat and ember intrusion:

Installation notes and instructions for:

Note: We’ve compiled these instructions for your general guidance, but real world circumstances may mean these guides will not serve every conceivable environment. Some types of ours (such as continuous vents) have additional instructions or diagrams.

Recommended installation caulk for “FF” flanges:

3M Fire Barrier Caulking: Home Depot: 10.1 fl. oz. | Bulk at Whitecap: 5 Gallons

Soon you will be able to download .DXF files from this page. You can now tilt, rotate, pan, and zoom 3D models of our tabbed, “winged” eave vents for rafter and truss installation above and below. A modern browser and recent hardware is required.

The above 3D models are computationally intensive to display. Older machines will not run these smoothly, if at all. Opening more than one model at a time may strain your graphics card to the point the vent will not rotate smoothly, resulting in fewer frames per second. Consider closing any other player first by clicking the ‘x’ button on the top right of the player you are not viewing. You can also view these models in full screen by clicking the opposing arrows button on the bottom right of the player. If by rotating/panning/zooming the camera in a way you can’t see the vent anymore, you can reload the page (F5) to reload the model of the vent.
