        Q:How does the duct fasten to the vent? The cable tie seems inadequate and flimsy to secure the duct to the vent without it slipping off or eventually coming loose in time. Is there a better method to attach the duct to the vent besides a cable tie?

                A:  Hi Abraham, Thank you for your question on the RVK1A roof venting kit. This cap features both a back draft damper and bird screen, preventing outside air from entering the home and birds or small pests from entering duct work. This kit includes all materials needed for installation, including 8 ft. of 4" flexible ducting, 4" metal duct connector, 4" to 3" Reducer, and nylon zip ties. The flexible ducting conforms to UL 181 Class 1 Air Connector and CUL S110 requirements. It is NOT suitable for dryer venting.

                    A:  It does not. When you remove the shingle where the vent is placed, save and use the two nails. Don't forget your roofing cement/tar.
