Suggested Option: 2 x RM 1600
|
Suggested Option: 1 x RM 1200
|
For smaller attic zones with less volume, the RM 1200 is the best option. When a roof mount is not desirable, or for areas with an existing gable vent (or other passive vent) use the IM 1200.
|
For expansive attic zones with more volume, the RM 1600 provides the most efficient venting solution.
|
For homes with a single smaller attic zone, the RM 1200 is an ideal solution.

Flashing Options
|
 |
 |
 |
Low Profile This sleek, discreet design is for most roof applications. |
Pitched A great alternative for north facing roofs when you need to improve exposure to the sun. It’s ideal for tile roofs when used with the self-flashing Tile Roof Add-on Kit (sold separately). |
High Profile This unobtrusive, aerodynamic design is perfect for locations with heavy snow loads. It’s also another option for tile roofs when “mudding in” is preferred. |
