CavClear® Weep Vents

CavClear® Weep Vents are available in a variety of colors to blend with mortar. They are installed in vertical joints (open-head weeps) of brick masonry units at 24" (609.6 mm) spacing at the flashing level for moisture drainage and airflow. They prevent insects from entering and add visual continuity to open-joint weeps.

The unique notch feature of CavClear® Weep Vents facilitates rapid drying. Open-head joint weeps increase ventilation over rope wicks. For better pressure equalization, install weep vents at both the top and bottom of the wall.

Features and Benefits
  • Polymer Mesh – Provides greater ventilation and drainage than traditional rope wicks. Helps prevent weep hole blockage from insects and debris.
  • Notched Design – Allows Weep Vent to drain and dry faster than traditional straight-cut weep vents.
  • Variety of Colors – Provides finished appearance that can blend with mortar and brick colors.
  • Easy Installation – Install CavClear Weep Vents by sliding into head joints at 24" spacing.


Applications

CavClear® Weep Vents are used in masonry construction in the vertical joints of the brick masonry units. When properly installed, they help provide moisture drainage and air flow while preventing most animals and insects from entering the building envelope.

CavClear® Weep Vents are part of a complete line of masonry accessory products to help keep cavity air spaces open so the wall system performs as intended. Other CavClear® cavity wall products include Masonry Mat, Stone Mat and Insulation System. Weep Vents perform best when used with either CavClear® Insulation System or CavClear® Masonry Mat to make the complete CavClear® Full-Height Air Space Maintenance and Drainage System.
