A New and Improved Breather Vent

By Alec Doniger. 

FlashCo recently created an updated breather vent for single-ply and multi-ply roofing systems. 

Need a simple and easy solution for pipe and pipe vent installation? Look no further than the FlashCo® FlashVent™ Breather Vent! It is easy to install and is both durable and versatile. This vent meets the eight-inch height requirement for vents that extend from buildings. It also has a unique indicator showing whether the vent is one-way or two-way after installation – a helpful tool for the installer or any future worker on the roof.  

The vent has a different installation process depending on the roofing membrane you’re installing over. For white TPO, a membrane flange is installed to ensure the vent is secure before installation. With colored TPO or PVC systems, a boot is preassembled for even more stability. No field fabrication is required for this system. The vent you order comes preassembled. All that the roofer needs to do is weld the boot or flange to the roofing membrane installed.  

FlashCo makes it simple to order their product. Their boot is NDL-certified, making it easy for your company to acquire. They work with all the major manufacturers in roofing, delivering all over the U.S. They operate out of a variety of locations, with five plants and two warehouses scattered across the country. This makes for speedy deliveries to contractors everywhere.
