Proctor Over Fascia Vent FV10

The Proctor over fascia vent FV10 is a 10mm x 1000mm eave vent that draws air into the roof space between the sarking and the fascia board. It is the standard entry point of the ProctorVent range, sized for the airflow a traditional pitched roof over 16 degrees needs, and it is one of the simplest ways to ventilate the eaves on a new build or a re-roof. The 4mm slots let air in while keeping large insects out, and the reduced height keeps the vent low on the fascia line.

Key Features

• 10,000mm² positive airflow per linear metre, 1/300 ratio
• 1000mm length for a continuous eave run
• Reduced height profile, often no need to pack out roof sheets
• 4mm openings block large insects and prevent capillary action
• Increased rigidity and flutes for easier fixing
• Compatible with timber and metal fascias

Specifications

• Product: Proctor over fascia vent FV10
• Size: 10mm x 1000mm
• Airflow: 10,000mm² per linear metre, 1/300
• Design: traditional roofs with pitch over 16 degrees
• Openings: 4mm evenly spaced
• Installation: fixes to the fascia at the eave

Installation

The FV10 fits between the fascia and the roof cladding at the eave, with the openings facing into the roof space. Its reduced height keeps the profile discreet, and the flutes give a clean surface to position the fixings. Fit it as part of the roof build so the airflow path from the eave is open from the start, and run it along the full eave line for even ventilation.

Applications

• Eave ventilation on traditional roof pitches over 16 degrees
• New builds and re-roofing where passive ventilation is wanted
• Roofs where a low, discreet fascia vent is needed
• Completing a ProctorVent inlet and outlet system

What You Need To Complete The Job

The FV10 needs an outlet at the ridge. Pair it with a Proctor ridge vent RV10, and use the Proctor FV25 where the roof pitch is under 22 degrees and more airflow is needed. See the Roof Ventilation range for the full passive system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the FV10 do?

It lets air into the roof space at the eave, between the sarking and the fascia board. That intake feeds the ventilation system so warm air and moisture can move through the roof space and out at the ridge.

Which roof pitches does it suit?

The FV10 is designed for traditional roofs with a pitch over 16 degrees. On lower pitches under 22 degrees, and on cathedral roofs, the larger FV25 is the better match.

How much airflow does it provide?

It delivers 10,000mm² of positive airflow per linear metre, which is a 1/300 ventilation ratio. That is the standard intake figure for a steep traditional roof.

Is there a BAL version?

Yes. The FV10 BAL has ember mesh pre-fitted for bushfire-prone areas, with the same 10mm x 1000mm body and airflow.

How does the FV10 work with roof sarking?

The vent fits between the sarking and the fascia board, which is the point where the roof membrane ends at the eave. It lets air pass into the gap above the sarking so the roof space stays ventilated without cutting the membrane. Fit it so the sarking laps cleanly over the back of the vent and the openings face into the air path.
