How it works
What happens when embers hit it.
- 01
The vent sits low on the roof, so wind-blown embers have less to hit.
- 02
Inside, 1/8-inch metal mesh and a stainless steel filament catch embers before they reach the attic.
- 03
O'Hagin says its ridge and off-ridge vents can't be tested under the standard vent test, so they comply through the roof-vent mesh path in California's 2026 code.
Why people choose it
- Made for tile, comp shingle, shake, slate and metal roofs
- Low profile, so it's less visible from the street
- Keeps attic ventilation working
What to watch for
- Most roof models aren't on the State Fire Marshal's vent listing; they comply another way
- Roof work needs the right crew and sometimes a permit
Who makes it
The makers, in their own words.
Descriptions are each maker's claims, not RF1 test results. Before buying, confirm the exact model on the State Fire Marshal's Building Materials Listing (vents are category 8165).
What it costs
- Roof vent, installed
- $100 to $200
- Ridge vent with baffle, installed
- $30 to $40 per foot
Rough installed costs, based on the 2024 Headwaters Economics study. Retail prices for O'Hagin vents run roughly $45 to $52 at one retailer we checked.
These are rough ranges, not RF1 quotes. Most RF1 jobs land between $500 and $5,000, and your plan prices every vent before anything is booked.
