Metal Roof Exhaust Fan Vent - How to Install a CoVent

When it comes to metal roofing, proper ventilation is paramount. True Metal Supply's CoVent metal roof exhaust vent from Levi's provides an innovative and effective solution for maintaining optimal airflow, preventing moisture buildup, and ensuring the longevity of your roofing system. Let’s explore how CoVent works, its benefits, and the recommended installation process.

What is the CoVent Metal Roof Exhaust Vent?

CoVent is a cutting-edge exhaust fan vent specifically designed for metal roofs. It’s engineered to blend seamlessly with the roof’s profile, providing a low-profile yet highly effective ventilation solution. Crafted from durable, weather-resistant materials, CoVent boasts a 20-year warranty and is built to withstand the elements while delivering reliable performance over the long haul.

How Does CoVent Work?

CoVent connects directly to the 3" or 4" flex hose that is connected to your exhaust fan. It is designed with an integrated DEKS boot with a familiar aluminum base like traditional pipe boots. This allows the flexible base of the CoVent to get a good seal around the ribs of the metal panel. As air is pulled from the interior of the structure, it is allowed to escape out the top of the CoVent without moisture entering back in thanks to CoVent's unique hood design.

Key Benefits of CoVent

Durability: CoVent’s durable EPDM construction ensures it can handle extreme weather conditions, from heavy rain to intense sun. CoVent carries a 20-year warranty.
Energy Efficiency: Proper ventilation reduces moisture on the inside of the building and prohibits condensation buildup on the underside of your metal roof that can occur from improperly flashed exhaust vents.
Aesthetic Integration: Designed to complement the sleek look of metal roofs, CoVent doesn’t compromise on style. It's currently available in Black and Gray.
Ease of Installation: With its thoughtful design, CoVent is straightforward to install for roofing professionals and will feel very familiar.

Installing the CoVent Metal Roof Exhaust Vent

Proper installation is crucial to maximize the effectiveness of CoVent. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Prepare the Roof: Start by cutting a hole in the metal roofing panel to allow access to the flex hose that is connected to the exhaust fan in the building. Ensure the cut is even and follows the manufacturer’s guidelines for width.
Clean the Panel Surface: Ensure all metal shavings, dirt, and debris have been brushed away from the area where CoVent will be installed.
Position the CoVent: Connect the flex hose to the extended edge, ensuring the flex hose is firmly in place using the zip tie that is provided in the CoVent packaging.
Secure the Vent: Apply sealant to the base of the CoVent and use metal roofing screws to fasten the CoVent to the roof. Make sure to follow the spacing recommendations in the installation manual.
Seal and Finish: Apply another bead of sealant around the base to ensure a watertight fit.
Inspect the Installation: Double-check all fastenings and seals to ensure the CoVent is securely installed and weatherproof.
