Abstract
A vent assembly, including a backplate having plurality of concentric cylinders arranged in an order of decreasing diameter, such that the concentric cylinders are separated by score lines and at least one of the cylinders is recessed from the backplate, and a vent flapper. The assembly may include a tube configured to attach to one of the cylinders and one or more tube stoppers to prevent the tube from being over inserted. The assembly may include a face plate, a tooth formed on the backplate, and a tooth receiver is formed on the face plate. The score lines may be dual-sided score lines. The assembly may include the vent flapper having one or more air intake openings formed within the vent flapper, such that the air intake openings allow air to flow both in and out.

5 . The vent assembly of claim 4 , wherein the score lines are dual-sided score lines.
6 . The vent assembly of claim 1 , wherein the score lines are dual-sided score lines.
7 . A vent assembly, comprising:
a backplate; a face plate; a tooth formed on the backplate; and a tooth receiver formed on the face plate.
8 . The vent assembly of claim 7 ,
wherein the backplate has a plurality of concentric cylinders arranged in an order of decreasing diameter and the concentric cylinders are separated by score lines; and wherein at least one of the concentric cylinders is recessed from the backplate.
9 . The vent assembly of claim 8 , further comprising:
one or more ventilation tube stoppers to prevent the ventilation tube from being over inserted.
