Abstract: A pressure equalization device 200 comprises an elongated member 202 arranged and designed to extend between an exterior and an interior of a building 100 and at least one rupture disc 208. The rupture disc 208 may be any appropriate shape and is configured to rupture when an air pressure differential between the exterior and interior of the building exceeds a certain threshold, thereby allowing the exterior and interior air pressures to substantially equalize. The device may contain end caps 205 which may be attached to the elongated member 202 by a friction fit or other suitable method.

Abstract: A two-piece apparatus available in varying widths for ventilating the attic space of a building with a pitched roof, comprising a base formed by a plate with angled tracks surrounding a opening therein to be first mounted over an opening in the roof, and a hood which covers the openings from water ingress and which is designed and arranged to slide into and be captured by said angled tracks without the use of additional fasteners. The hood contains a screened opening which faces the leeward side. Two-step installation allows the base to be fastened from the rooftop in locations internal to the vent.
