Video Transcript for Review of Valterra RV Vents and Fans - Black RV Plumbing Roof Vent With Cap - VA37ZR

Hi everybody. Andy here with "etrailer.com" and today we're gonna take a look at this Valterra Black RV Plumbing Roof Vent with cap. This plastic roof vent is going to let sewer gases escape to prevent unpleasant odors from entering your RV or camper through your plumbing. It's going to release pressure and keep air circulating to limit clogs and stoppages. And this is going to install on top of the ventilation pipe on your RV's roof. And this is going to fit one inch to two and 3/8 inch outer diameter vent pipes.

As you can see here it does include butyl tape and mounting hardware. You're gonna get a total of seven screws. Six of those screws are going to be used to mount this vent on your roof of your RV or camper. But then that seventh screw is gonna be used here to secure the cap to the vent itself. Now this cap is going to cover the top of the vent obviously to prevent rain or debris from entering in.

And lemme go ahead and put this cap back on real quick and just give you some overall dimensions so you have an idea of just how big this is. The overall height with the cap on we're sitting right at three inches tall. And then the overall diameter we are sitting right at, looks like right about five and a quarter inches in diameter. Now if I remove the cap, the overall height we're gonna be sitting right at about two inches. And then the mounting flange opening we're sitting right at four inches.

And then these mounting holes, let me see if I can line my ruler up here so you can see that. Measuring center to center, we are sitting right at two, right about two and 3/8 inches. Center to center. And this is really going to be an easy install. You're just going to obviously remove the existing vent that you need to replace.

Just remove that. And you wanna make sure that you remove any ceiling residue from the roof that was underneath your vent that you're replacing. And then you're going to apply the included butyl tape to the bottom perimeter of this new vent. And then center the vent over the pipe that you are putting this on. I'm gonna make sure that my cap is on correctly here. So center of the vent over the vent pipe. And then you're just going to press down using your fingers and press down firmly around the screw hole perimeter and then use the included screws to secure the vent to your roof. You do want to be careful not to over tighten the screws. And then once again use that final screw to secure your cap to the vent. So again, this is a black plastic vent and feels very durable and looks like I feel like it's going to last you quite a long time but if black is not going to match the rest of the things that you have up there on your roof. The good news is we also carry this in white and on your screen I am including the item number for the white vent. It's completely identical. All of the measurements are the same. It also includes the butyl tape and the screws. It's just white instead of black. Just take the item number that you see there on the screen put it in the search field of our website and it'll take you to the white version of this vent. Well that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
