The Lambro 6-in. Galvanized Steel Fresh Air Intake Wall Vent with 3-in. Pipe allows clean, fresh air into the home when gas appliances are present or when today’s houses are airtight. The vent design for new and replacement installations over an existing 6-in. opening. It features an opening containing a wire mesh screen with a net-free area of 18 sq. in.

All gas appliances should have a fresh air intake vent if they are indoors. These include gas heaters, fireplaces that use gas, gas water heaters, and gas dryers. If they don’t have a fresh air intake vent, they rely on the oxygen in the air, adding carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in unhealthy ranges to the home.
