Temp-Vent
Foundation Vent System
Series 5 (Two Piece
Construction)
Help protect your
foundation with Temp-Vent. The foundation is
critical to the integrity of the home.
That’s why foundation ventilation
is critical. Unventilated foundations are
subject to built-up moisture that can eventually
lead to costly damage.

Temp Vent foundation vent systems help
protect this critical area of the home. What’s
more, ventilation can help control conditions
that lead to mold, mildew, fungi, damp rot and
unhealthy air.
But there’s more. If there’s one
thing termites are attracted to, it’s warm,
moist, dead air environments such as those found
under houses in crawl spaces or unfinished
basements.
Temp-Vent foundation vents are designed to
provide ventilation that can reduce moisture in
these areas, which helps control termites.
A crawl space
dehumidifier with no drain or
power needed!
Whenever possible, vents should be placed on
all sides of the foundation. This will create an
intake/exhaust system that delivers a steady
flow of air. One vent should be installed for
each 8 to 10 feet of foundation wall.
Most building codes require 1 square foot of
open ventilation area for every 150 square feet
of crawl space. Temp Vent Automatic Foundation
Vents have 50 inches of net free area per vent.
Therefore, you should install one vent for
every 50 square feet of crawl space.
For crawl spaces with polyethylene installed,
on 80-90% of the ground, the ventilation
requirement changes to 1 square foot of
ventilation for every 500 square feet of crawl
space with a minimum of 4 vents installed to
provide cross ventilation. For crawl spaces with
polyethylene, install at least one vent for
every 500 square feet of crawl space.
Automatic Foundation Vents
The non-powered, Automatic Foundation Vent
will open and close automatically using a
heat/cold sensitive coil. The louvers open
completely at approximately 72°F and completely
close at approximately 38°F. Unlike manual
vents that can waste energy when no one
remembers to open or close them, these vents
self-adjust all year long.
