AVAILABLE FINISHES

SUPERDURABLE® POLYESTER POWDER COAT FINISH

Ventex louvers and penthouses are available in 20 standard paint colours as well as custom colour matches to
complement any building’s exterior. All Ventex Superdurable® polyester powder coat paints meet or exceed AAMA 2604
performance criteria and specifications for colour and gloss retention, chalking and corrosion resistance, as well
as hardness and impact testing. Our in-house powder coat system is state-of-the-art and provides an extraordinarily
scratch and fade resistant finished surface that exhibits superior weathering ability. The environmentally friendly process
produces Zero-VOC emissions. For standard Superdurable® paint colours refer to the Ventex Standard Colour Chart.

DURANAR®/DURANAR XL® FINISH

Ventex louvers and penthouses are also available with Duranar® and Duranar XL® premium fluoropolymer paint
finishes that meet AAMA 2605 specification and performance requirements. Colours can be selected from the
Duranar Colour Guide® (available from Ventex) or can be custom matched for any special application.

CLEAR ANODIZED FINISH

Clear anodized finish is a controlled electrochemical process which rapidly increases the thickness and density of
aluminum’s oxide coating. The process makes the external clear coat of the aluminum extremely hard and scratch
resistant. The clear anodized finish requires very little, if any, maintenance.

COLOUR ANODIZED FINISH

Colour anodized finishes are produced by immersing clear anodized material into a coloured, metallic compound and
electrolyte solution. The colour penetrates the pores of the oxide coating, giving the material its colour.
Colours available: Light Bronze, Medium Bronze, Dark Bronze, Black.

 HI PRO 2430 AND 2435 DRAINABLE LOUVERS

The Ventex 2430/2435 louver is the newly designed extruded aluminum, stationary, four inch
(102 mm) deep drainable louver. The 2430 free area is one of the highest available for a four
inch deep louver. The specially designed head and large drainage spouts in the jamb are high-
ly effective at collecting water and dispersing it away from the face of the louver, thus elimi-
nating potential water penetration. The 2430 is best suited for intake applications in which
Profile the louver size is very restricted or applications which handle a large volume of air.

retaining a relatively high free area. Its sturdy construction makes it ideal for large projects
where the louver covers a large span.

 MODELS GV-I & GV-E GRAVITY VENTILATORS

The introduction of the Ventex intake and exhaust hoods completes

our line of roof top ventilators. The Ventex hood is a cost efficient
alternative to penthouses. The hood offers the ability to move a
greater volume of air at low static pressures. The 360° opening
Hood Dimension around the throat gives a reliable and balanced air flow from any
(B x B’) direction as well as providing effective protection from weather. The
low profile design of the hood minimizes the probability of being visi-
ble from the ground.
Height
The hood is constructed from Heavy Gauge 0.063 Aluminum using
standing seams and snap lock seams and assembled using self-sealing
Throat Dimension
(A x A’) 8 fasteners. Incorporated in the hood design are integral internal struc-
tural supports and braces to provide rigidity to withstand significant
Curb Cap wind and snow loads.
(C x C’)
The base is a single piece. It is fabricated from 0.063 aluminum
using continuous welds along all vertical corners and seams. This
provides exceptional strength and water tightness.

 ACL ACOUSTIC LOUVER

Ventex Models ACL800 and the ACL1200 are formed acoustic louvers. The ACL800 is eight
inches (203 mm) deep and the ACL1200 is twelve inches (305 mm) deep. Standard construction
is aluminum; galvanized steel construction is available as an alternative. The ACL600 acoustic lou-
ver is an extruded aluminum, six inch (152 mm) deep louver. These louvers are designed for
applications that require noise reduction, as well as ventilation for equipment or machinery.
They are commonly used in pumping stations and portable generators.

 MODEL 1200 EXTRUDED BACK DRAFT DAMPER

Ventex Model 1200 (formerly BDD) is a superior concept in back draft dampers. This
unique all aluminum product eliminates the shortcomings of previous designs on the
market. Pivot pins that quickly wear or rust out, or rivets that shake loose and pull
through the blade are no longer a problem. The extruded blades are engineered to com-
bine strength and durability with smooth operation by virtue of their aerodynamic
design.

The new Model 1100 (formerly RFD) roll-formed blade backdraft damper utilizes the same frame

MODEL 1300 MOTORIZED DAMPER

The Ventex Model 1300 (formerly MBD) is our specially engineered motorized damper.
Its design allows it to be used in either an exhaust or intake system. The damper blade
pivots in the middle, which makes it easier to open, by balancing the positive and neg-
ative pressures on both sides of the blade. Traditional motorized dampers that have
blades that pivot from the top, force the motor to work harder, because they have to
overcome the negative pressure of an intake application. The advantage to the center
pivot blade is the increased life expectancy of the motor. The design also gives the
damper a high free area.
