Abstract
A power vent is disclosed including a housing assembly having a base and a cylindrical, open ended shroud joined to the base and within which is supported a fan assembly. A wire frame is molded into the inner peripheral surface of the shroud to reinforce the shroud and also provide a bracket for supporting the motor of the fan assembly. A molded plastic hood including hood support brackets is securable to the shroud so that the assembly may be employed as a roof vent. In another embodiment, the base of the housing may be shaped to receive a louver assembly and the assembly may be used as a gable end vent.
