Master Flow EZ Cool Plug-in Power Attic Vent
GAF
The GAF Master Flow EZ Cool Plug-in Power Attic Vent delivers the performance of a power vent without the need to bring in an electrician. Equipped with a 25-foot power cord, the longest length cord among ETL-listed plug-in attic vents, it plugs into a 110-volt standard electrical outlet, making installation easy and hassle-free. The Master Flow EZ Cool Plug-in Power Attic Vent is available in three colors — black, brown, and weathered wood — so it can seamlessly blend in with the look of today’s most popular roof shingle colors. An adjustable thermostat comes included with the product to help regulate the temperature of the attic space — also available with combo humidistat/thermostat for areas where moisture is a concern. The Master Flow EZ Cool Plug-in Power Attic Vent also features optional QuickConnect Wi-Fi Technology, allowing homeowners to monitor and adjust the temperature and humidity of their attic from virtually anywhere with an internet connection and smart device. gaf.com/ezcool.
ACDSV Smoke Vent
BILCO
The BILCO Company’s Type ACDSV Smoke Vent provides the highest level of protection against exterior noise on the market, the company says. With OITC-46 sound and STC-50 sound ratings, the vents guard against low-frequency outdoor sounds such as traffic and airplanes. Its ISO-140-18 sound rating when tested against rainfall is the first to reach that standard. That rating measures the impact sound insulation roofs, skylights and roof/ceiling systems incur when exposed to rainfall. The design features mineral wool insulation and high-density sound mat material to better inhibit sound transmission. BILCO’s ACDSV is available in standard sizes and custom sizes are also available.

The Edge Vent
AirVent
Residential roofing contractors asked for more control over proper intake attic ventilation. The Edge Vent is installed on the roof — during a roofing project — at the very edge of the roof with matching shingles on top. Each four-foot rigid, plastic stick provides 9 square inches of airflow per linear foot, making it easy to balance with the exhaust vents. It can be used on roofs with or without an overhang. It’s an easy way to add extra intake during reroofing. It’s suitable for any climate and passed a 30-day ice dam test. For more information, visit airvent.com or call 1-800-AIR-VENT.
FasciaVent
DCI Products
FasciaVent by DCI is an intake vent solution with proven performance since 1999. FasciaVent allows air through the top of the fascia board by entering behind the gutter. The ice shield covers the top nailing flange at the roof edge. The gutter installs even with the bottom intake and covers the FasciaVent. Rated at 9 NFA, FasciaVent meets and exceeds the National Building Codes and can be used on flat, low-sloped, and steep-sloped roofs. FasciaVent can be installed under all roof types, including standing seam metal roofs. For more information, call DCI Products for samples at 610-622-4455 or visit FasciaVent.com.
