Attwood 1494F1 Flush Louvered Vent, White, 2 Inch x 15-3/8 Inch Cutout

The Attwood 1494F1 is a flush-mount louvered vent designed to ventilate below-deck compartments while keeping rain and spray out. The canted louvers deflect water away from the opening and help conceal the collector box mounted behind the vent, while drain slots built into the housing prevent water from accumulating inside. The vent installs flush to the hull for a clean, low-profile finish and is installed using #8 fasteners.

This white vent is constructed of ASA plastic and is paintable, so it can be color-matched to the surrounding gelcoat or deck if desired. It is intended for use with a separate collector box: the 1341 collector box for a 3 inch system, or the 1342 collector box for a 4 inch system. The cutout size is 2 inch x 15-3/8 inch, with an overall vent size of 2-3/4 inch x 17-9/16 inch, and the vent flange is 1/4 inch. This makes the 1494F1 a straightforward upgrade or replacement for flush louvered ventilation openings on boats that use the Attwood 1494 vent family.
