For existing foundations utilizing a standard 8" x 8" x 16" masonry block as a vent, we offer a do-it-yourself kit that includes precut stainless steel screens, cleaning brush, disposable Vulkem cartridge tip attachment, miscellaneous temporary installation accessories and detailed step by step installation instructions for replacement of the existing screen.

Installation can be performed from the outside if access to the vent is unobstructed, otherwise the screens will have to be replaced from the crawl space side of the foundation.

You will need Vulkem 116 Polyurethane Sealant, a caulking gun and household cleaner. If the work is to be performed from the crawl space side, a hot melt glue gun is suggested.

Please note that as the Vulkem cures the disposable tip will be rendered useless. Most likely you will be able to salvage any remaining Vulkem for a month, but you will need to purchase additional Disposable Vulkem Cartridge Tip Attachments if you do not intend to install all of the vents on the same day.

We offer precut stainless steel screen for a standard 8" x 8" x 16" masonry block used as a vent.

Before the foundation is laid-up the screen can be bonded to the block. In this application the adhesive must be allowed time to cure. After the foundation is built the screen can be held in place using the temporary attachments and framing can begin immediately after the adhesive is applied.

You will need an appropriate type of construction adhesive and the correct size of caulking gun for the adhesive that you select. If the blocks are wet you will need the type of construction adhesive that will adhere metal to a wet masonry surface, otherwise purchase any common construction adhesive that will bond metal to masonry.
