Sliding foundation vent
A foundation vent includes four panels arranged to form a box-shaped vent frame. Ten frame vanes are attached to the box-shaped frame. A vent shutter having ten shutter vanes with elongated oval-shaped finger grips positioned centrally on the shutter vanes is held in a slider channel positioned on the box-shaped vent frame. The slider channel is formed by a series of six tabs centrally positioned in an opening between two adjacent frame vanes. The vent shutter is held in the slider channel so that it slides with respect to the box-shaped vent frame to selectively expose openings in between the frame vanes. A locking mortar track in provided on all four panels of the box-shaped frame to securely hold it in place. The vent is preferably constructed from polypropylene copolymer that is talc reinforced and sized to evenly course with a standard size brick.
