![]() | Good Design but Poorly Constructed by: jack from: Miami, Fl on: October 26, 2017 |
If you look closely at the picture you can see that the gooseneck and the flashing are two separate pieces held together with very flimsy spot welds, of which two had come apart. In other words, no matter how many nails/screws you put in the flashing one good wind and the gooseneck could pull off the flashing and leave a hole in your roof. It's unbelievable to me that they would build this thing like that. Also, for the sake of information, the front edge apparently is intentionally designed with a 1/4" gap to act as a weep hole for any water to drain out if it were to get past the flap. This is not intended to be used on a flat roof IMO. |

![]() | It does its job by: C ✔Verified Buyer from: Oyster Bay, NY on: September 23, 2010 |
I wish that the weather flap, inside the cap fit the opening just a bit more, as I feel when the cold weather comes, it will have a down-draft. It also doesn't have any weather stripping around the flap. We added it. It also wasn't the least expensive one. We ordered it because it would arrive to us the fastest, w/o extra delivery and shipping charges. |

![]() | Good product with a caveat by: Randy S ✔Verified Buyer from: Los Angeles, CA on: May 26, 2009 |
Product is as advertised. Purchased and installed 4. I added a bird screen with 1/4" metal mesh over the outlet which is the only improvement I felt it needed. |

![]() | It looks like there is an opening at the bottom front of the vent from the picture, is that the case and if so how high is it? it looks to be about 1/2 inch and the width vent coming up from the flat piece. Can someone please verify before I order it? Thank you for your help. - Asked about product SL-RC-10 | |
![]() | No, the black line (in pic) at the base of the collar is not an opening, the damper is inside vent. |

![]() | Hello, looking to get this for my range hood ventilation. Putting on a flat roof what happens if snow builds up higher than vent? Thanks in advance - Asked about product SL-RC-6 | |
![]() | Should the snow cover the cap the exhausting of the air will be greatly reduced, when the fan comes on eventually the hotter air will melt the snow build up in the proximity of the discharge. If the roof is pitched, often times the snow will accumulate less beneath the RC cap and the air will flow properly. The steeper the pitch the snow will accumulate less.
This image Click here is a submittal for the RC roof caps, the C dimension is the distance from the roof surface to the outlet which is 4. |

![]() | I have a blower pushing 1200 cfm through 10" round. short run with 2 45 degree turns. how many cfm will this hood exhaust at .8 static pressure? Thanks - Asked about product SL-RC-10 | |
![]() | The Roof Cap is capable of exhausting over 1200 cfm.
At 1200 cfm, the Roof Cap will add approximately .1 of static pressure to the system. Because the cap is a static device, the amount of air that is exhausted through it is 100% dependent on the power of the fan that is pushing the air and the flow can only be determined by reading the performance curve of the fan at .9 static pressure. The good news is that .1 of static pressure is the worst scenario because as the air flow is decreased, the pressure also decreases. |
