Abstract:
Weep hole insert (10, 10) comprising a tubular body (12) defining an air flow conduit (14) extending therethrough, along axis (L), from a first open end (12a) to a second open end (12b) of the body. Grate (16) comprises a perforated body (16a) configured to permit air flow but to inhibit passage of embers and sparks. In an operative configuration, perforated body (16a) extends across the conduit (14). Elastically compressible member (16c) is engageable between perforated body (16a) and an interior surface of body (12) to releasably secure the perforated body in the operative configuration. When engaged between body (16a) and the interior surface of body (12), member (16c) is elastically compressed from an expanded configuration to a compressed configuration by a distance of at least a wall thickness (T) of body (12) at its point of engagement by member (16c).
