Our FEMA-approved flood vents are a great way to ensure flood protection while also lowering your flood insurance costs. How does it work? The vent door is latched closed until water shows up. When flood water enters, it lifts the patented internal float, which in turn allows the door to rotate open. Flood water can then automatically enter and exit, ensuring that pressure is relieved from your foundation walls.

About Insulated Function Vents:

Application

This series is used for a garage or conditioned space where flood protection is required but air ventilation is not desired. for situations where a sealed crawlspace is being utilized in a floodplain, flood protection is still required and the Insulated FLOOD VENT series is the perfect fit for those applications.

Flood Protection

The vent door is latched closed until it comes in contact with flood water. Entering flood water lifts the patented internal floats which unlatch and allow the door to rotate open. This allows the flood water to automatically enter and exit through the frame opening, relieving the pressure from the foundation walls. Certified flood debris clearance is demonstrated with a 3 diameter opening when the flood door is activated.

Insulation

The flood door contains a 2 insulated core that has an R-value of 8.34. There is also a felt weather stripping that lines the entire vent frame helping to keep the enclosure as insulated as possible.
