ABSTRACT:
A vent and baffle unit locatable between adjacent roof rafters of a structure to provide a passage for the flow of air from the soffit to the attic and block the normal opening between the soffit and attic. The vent and baffle unit has a vent section having a triangular base and triangular side walls. Flanges are articuately joined to the outer edges of the side walls. The vent section can be folded into a generally V-shaped configuration. The inlet to the vent section has a generally rectangular cross sectional area. The outlet has a triangular cross sectional area. The baffle is articuately connected to the front of the vent section. The baffle is folded in a downward direction to block the normal opening between the attic and the soffit. The vent and baffle unit can be folded in an inward direction to provide a narrow configuration allowing it to be used with 16" on center roof rafters. Alternatively, the vent and baffle unit can be folded in an outward direction which allows the vent and baffle unit to be used with 24" on center roof rafters.
