Ventline Vent - Essential Accessories

What Ventline vent accessories do I need to complete a roof vent replacement?

A full Ventline roof vent replacement usually calls for a replacement lid, a hinge or pivot pin set, a garnish or trim ring for the interior ceiling, and butyl tape plus self-leveling lap sealant for the roof flange. If the original 12V fan motor is failing, plan on a motor and blade assembly as well. Confirm your Ventline model number stamped on the base flange before ordering so the lid size and hinge pattern match.

How do I know which Ventline vent lid fits my RV?

Ventline produced several lid sizes over the years, with the most common being the 14" x 14" profile used on standard roof vents. Measure the outside dimensions of the existing lid and check for any model number molded into the underside. If you have a powered vent, note whether the hinge is a metal pin style or a plastic clip, since replacement lids ship configured for one or the other.

What sealant should I use when installing a Ventline roof vent?

Use butyl putty tape under the vent flange to create the primary water seal, then run a bead of self-leveling lap sealant (Dicor 501LSW for most TPO and EPDM roofs) around the perimeter and over the screw heads. Avoid silicone, it will not bond to RV roof membranes and makes future repairs difficult. For a full roof reseal at the same time, look at our RV winterizing kits to protect the new install through the off-season.

Can I replace just the vent fan motor without removing the whole unit?

Yes. On most Ventline powered vents the 12V motor and blade assembly drops out from inside the coach once the garnish ring and wiring connections are removed, so the roof flange and sealant stay undisturbed. Check the amp draw and shaft diameter on the replacement motor against the original. If your RV has multiple ventilation points to service, our RV smoke alarms collection covers the safety devices that should be tested at the same time as any roof or ceiling work.
