OPTI-PAN
Retention Tray for Flat Roof
The OPTI-PAN is designed for flat roofs to recover water that could come down into the roof. Sometimes there may be traces of moisture. Although the Optimum vent is designed to remedy this situation, when the climate is very humid, a few droplets of water can remain on the walls of the vent and drop down into the attic. Placed on the mineral wool under the vent, the Optimum tray collects this water, allowing it to evaporate normally afterwards. The OPTI-PAN is highly recommended and is the solution for a dry attic at all times.
Important note:
It is mandatory to use an OPTI-PAN retention tray for the installation of all ventilators installed using the passive method, without air intake from the wall or soffit, at all times.

Fold the tray in half diagonally to form a triangle. Slide the tray into the attic through the opening for the vent. Once inside, place it on the mineral wool centered with the vent opening. For sloping roofs, those are made of metal. They are specially designed for each vent model with a proper anchoring.

Tightness of the roof or parts installed by the contractor are not guaranteed as they are out of the control of the manufacturer. It is the roofer’s responsibility to ensure that the base is properly waterproofed using the proper roofing products. The Association of Master Roofers (AMCQ) recommends using the following technique: Metal flanges: The metal flanges of all projections must be coated with a primer embedded in plastic roofing cement, covered with a fold of cotton saturated with asphalt or canvas, followed by a fold of 15-pound felt and another fold of cotton saturated with asphalt or canvas embedded in a bitumen. In addition, having no precise notion of the composition of the building such as the tightness of the vapor barrier, the insulation or the exact amount of air inlets; these elements do not allow us to give a guarantee on the final result. Proof of purchase showing the date, your name and the shipping address will be essential in order to make any warranty claim.
Metal OPTI-PAN with straps
For sloped roofs, there is the metal OPTI-PAN option. This model is designed with metal straps that can be cut to accommodate the roof pitch. These straps are then screwed around the vent opening.
This version of the OPTI-PAN can also be used for flat roofs where the distance between the vent opening and the mineral wool insulation is too great, posing a risk of leaks if condensation falls outside the retention tray. This close-set model ensures a dry attic at all times.
