Flood Flaps Earns ICC-ES Evaluation Report (ESR-3560)

Flood Flaps Engineered Flood Vents, manufactured by Flood Flaps, LLC, recently received an evaluation report (ESR#3560) from ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), providing evidence that the Flood Flaps Engineered Flood Vents Sealed Series and Flood Flaps Engineered Flood Vents Multi-Purpose Series models meet code requirements. Building officials, architects, contractors, specifiers, designers and others utilize ICC-ES Evaluation Reports to provide a basis for using or approving Flood Flaps Engineered Flood Vents in construction projects under the International Building Code and International Residential Code.

ICC-ES President Shahin Moinian explains why ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are so important. "Flood Flaps Engineered Flood Vents can now reference the evaluation report to ensure building officials and the building industry that the product meets I-Code requirements," Moinian said. "Building departments have a long history of using evaluation reports, and ICC-ES operates as a technical resource with the highest quality of product review for the building department. Final approval of building products is always in the hands of the local regulatory agency."
