Able Sheet Metal's 13.75-by-12-inch Multi-Guard gable louver vent has a California listing for wildfire-area use.

The model combines 26-gauge G90 galvanized steel with 3M Fire Barrier Expantrol Flexible Intumescent Strips. A 1/16-inch galvanized steel mesh sits on the interior side. Those components belong to the exact vent identified by BML number 8165-2363:0001, in the WUI vent category, with ASTM E2886 as its test protocol.

OSFM describes this model in its September 2, 2025 handbook edition. The live BML check dated August 25, 2026 recorded listed status and a June 30, 2027 expiration. Match the vent's model and size before specification, confirm the current GOVmotus entry, and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and product data sheets.
