Copperlab Stainless Steel Tombstone Louvered Gable Wall Vent - SWLVT1218F

Copperlab Stainless Steel Tombstone Louvered Gable Wall Vent -  SWLVT1218F

Tombstone Louvered Gable Wall Vents are made of 26 gauge 316 stainless steel. There are many standard sizes and mounting styles available (please choose below). Louvers are fixed and the vent is screened to keep insects and animals out. Both copper and stainless steel look great and last much longer than standard aluminum and plastic vents.

Which Mounting Style Copperlab's vents come in two different mounting styles. The flush mount should be purchased if the siding of your building is already installed, or if your building is brick or stone. The stucco mount model has a flashing and is meant to be installed prior to the siding installation. This mount can best be used with stucco, or wood / vinyl siding (stucco mount vents must be installed underneath siding and water-proofing).
