ICC-ES Certified Engineered Flood Vent - 8" Depth Multi-Purpose with Air Circulation - Gray
$136.00
Unit price perThis ICC-ES certified engineered flood vent in 8-inch depth provides FEMA-compliant automatic flood protection while allowing continuous air circulation—the dual-purpose solution for crawl spaces, garages, and enclosed areas below base flood elevation with thicker foundation walls. Unlike non-engineered flood vents that simply provide openings, this engineered model is designed and certified by ICC-ES to meet the performance standards required by federal flood regulations.
8-Inch Depth for Thicker Foundation Walls
The 8-inch depth model accommodates thicker foundation walls common in block construction, insulated foundations, or applications where additional depth clearance is needed. This extended depth provides proper installation on walls up to 8 inches thick while maintaining the same 220 square feet coverage and 37 square inches of ventilation as other models in the series.
NFIP Compliance for Insurance Savings
Installing ICC-ES certified flood vents in your foundation walls can significantly reduce flood insurance costs through the National Flood Insurance Program. This certification means local officials accept the vent as meeting NFIP requirements for automatic floodwater entry and exit—critical for flood insurance compliance. The 220 square feet coverage per vent means fewer vents required compared to competitors, reducing installation costs.
UV-Enhanced Durable Construction
Molded from engineered ABS plastic with UV stabilizers in professional gray finish, this flood vent withstands decades of exposure to sunlight, temperature extremes, and weather without degrading. Unlike metal vents that rust or wood frames that rot, ABS maintains structural integrity and appearance indefinitely. The included trim frame provides a finished appearance while covering the 16" × 8" rough opening.
Versatile Installation Applications
Install in crawl space foundation walls, walkout enclosures, garages below base flood elevation, storage buildings, metal buildings, foyers, stairway enclosures, or any enclosed area under predicted flood levels where both flood protection and natural airflow are needed. The gray color provides a neutral appearance that complements concrete block and mixed-color exteriors.
Important FEMA Terminology Note
Federal policy does not allow FEMA to approve, endorse, certify, or recommend any products. While this product complies with FEMA design guidance and NFIP requirements, terms like "FEMA approved" or "FEMA certified" are technically incorrect. The proper terminology is "ICC-ES certified engineered opening that meets NFIP requirements."
