MontanaChinook Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The previous owner sealed the vent shut, since he was sick of it leaking. I'd like to get it working again, and figure I should just replace it. It would be nice to buy one with a powered fan. The problem is that they all seem to be 14"x14". I measured my cutout, and its more like 16"x24". Derek pointed out vents that would fit that opening, but they don't have a powered fan. Am I just asking for endless leaks if I put in a 14x14 vent, and make something to cover the few inch gap? Or is there a pretty good way to make that work? Otherwise I'll just go with a non-fan vent that actually fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'd be more inclined to keep your 'big' vent and if you want a fan make a new cutout elsewhere for a standard (but with fan) 14" vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nam Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think you can install the big vent and install the retrofit fan on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
