Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Raven R1508 2-Inch PVC Termination Vent with Stainless Steel Screen, 2-Inch by Tim Ram

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy installation with reduction suggestion.

Good product. During a cold snap this winter, I had trouble getting cold air for my stove, which was blocked by very light snowflakes being sucked in and accumulating in my air intake. I replaced the inlet with a tee and then added two of these at the ends of the tee to prevent summer bird nests and other pests. They are easy to install and should get the job done. In my case, I almost doubled the amount of intake air available so the screen wouldn't cause a restriction that would affect the oven or trigger error codes on the thermostat. If your high efficiency stove/heat pump is very sensitive to the amount of intake air available, you may need to do the same as me. A slight reduction in the amount of air that flows through the air intake when you fit a shielded cover to an intake manifold can cause error codes unless you increase the available air like I did.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
