Omega Corrugated Square Roof Vent

The Omega corrugated square roof vent is made to carry bathroom condensation and odours out of the house through a metal roof. Regulation changes no longer allow venting condensation into the roof cavity, so the vent gives you a finished outlet on the roof that connects to a 6 inch duct pipe. The body is UV stabilised plastic, which will not rust or discolour in the weather, and the square corrugated flashing suits corrugated steel roofing.

How It Works

The vent sits on the roof with the flashing formed to the corrugated profile, and the duct pipe connects underneath to the exhaust source, such as a bathroom fan. Warm, moist air is drawn up the duct and out through the vent instead of being pushed into the roof cavity, where it would condense on the sarking and framing. The design also keeps rainwater out, so the vent is safe for homes collecting rainwater.

Applications

• Bathroom and ensuite exhaust outlets on metal roofs
• Venting odours from kitchens and laundry rooms
• Roofs where condensation can no longer be vented into the cavity
• Corrugated steel and Colorbond roofs

What You Need To Complete The Job

Connect the vent to the exhaust fan with flexible foil ducting in a 150mm size. For a matching outlet on a different roof profile, see the Omega roof exhaust vent. Browse the Roof Ventilation range for vents, ducts and roof units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a roof vent for a bathroom exhaust?

Regulation changes mean condensation and moist air can no longer be vented into the roof cavity, where it would cause rot and mould. A roof vent gives the exhaust a finished outlet that carries that air outside.

What roof profiles does it fit?

This version has a square corrugated flashing, so it is made for corrugated steel and Colorbond roofs. Omega also makes versions for tiled roofs and other metal profiles.

What size duct does it take?

It connects to a 6 inch (150mm) duct pipe, which is the standard size for bathroom and laundry exhaust fans. Run the flexible duct from the fan to the vent with a short, direct route.

Is it safe for rainwater tanks?

Yes. The vent is designed with a flashing that keeps rainwater out while letting air escape, which makes it safe for homes collecting rainwater.

How is this different from the standard Omega roof vent?

This version has a square corrugated flashing, which is shaped to sit on corrugated steel and Colorbond roofing. The standard Omega roof exhaust vent is a general roof vent for tiled and metal roofs. Match the flashing to your roof profile for a clean, watertight fit.

Can it be used on a tiled roof?

This version has a square corrugated flashing, so it is made for corrugated metal roofing. For a tiled roof, choose the Omega vent version with a flashing that suits tile profiles, so the vent seals properly against the roof covering rather than leaving a gap.
