US 2026/0132955 A1 · ONE STEP INSTALLATION OF VENT ASSEMBLY FROM INSIDE THE STRUCTURE

Abstract

A vent assembly for routing airflow between an interior of a building and an exterior environment is described. The vent assembly includes a vent member configured to extend through a wall or roof penetration and a mounting member configured to secure the vent member from an interior side of the building. The vent assembly may be installed entirely from inside the building and may include an integrated temporary or permanent vent cap. In certain embodiments, the vent member is adjustable in length to accommodate different wall or roof thicknesses and exterior finish materials. The vent assembly may be configured as a single-port or multi-port assembly, wherein multiple ducts are routed through a single exterior penetration while maintaining separation of airflow. The vent assembly may further include modular components, extension members, telescoping members, flappers, and protective mesh. The vent assembly is suitable for wall-mounted and roof-mounted applications and is compatible with exhaust and intake airflow.

A vent assembly for routing airflow between an interior of a building and an exterior environment, comprising:

a vent member configured to extend through a penetration formed in a wall or roof of the building, the vent member including:
a vent portion defining an exterior-facing opening;
and
a duct portion configured to receive at least one exhaust duct on an interior side of the building;
a mounting member configured to be secured to a structural surface on the interior side of the building, the mounting member defining an opening that receives the vent member;
wherein the vent member is received through the mounting member such that a protruding length of the vent portion relative to an exterior surface is adjustable from the interior or exterior side of the building;
and
a vent cap coupled to the vent portion and positioned on the exterior side of the building,
wherein the vent assembly is installable entirely from the interior side of the building and provides a temporary or permanent exterior closure of the penetration without requiring exterior access.
