INDUSTRIES & APPLICATIONS

 

 

How Did We Come Up With Our Innovative Design? 

It’s simple. With all of our products, we listen to our customers’ needs and pain points. Our engineering team has years of experience and works to create innovative solutions. We work to provide custom products with our Austin Guaranteed Engineered Solutions. The Flexi-Vent is another great solution from our team. Through various studies and market research, we sought to create a truly innovative product that would set itself apart in today’s market. As a result, the Flexi-Vent was created.  

How Is Our Product Different?  

After a comprehensive study we set our sights on designing an improved cowl vent that would eliminate 3 significant problems.  As a result of our efforts, we are able to offer a low-profile, corrosion resistant vent, that also eliminates other frustrations customers are experiencing today.

  • The Austin Engineering team designed a rubber base allowing the vent to flex and mount to the contours of the automotive vehicles used in the Emergency Vehicle industry.  This prevented the vents from cracking, provided a natural water seal and allowed the manufacture to mount our Flexi-Vent in the optimal position on their vehicles.
  •  
  • While we were at it, we designed a mesh filter into the base, eliminating an additional component for the installer to manage.
  • Last, but not least, the Austin team designed a hose adapter, allowing for not one, but two hose sizes commonly used with cowl vents.  Accommodating both a 3” hose and a 4” with no additional parts necessary.
