Find the right RV plumbing roof-vent cap or powered exhaust assembly without confusing three different designs: passive replacement caps, wind-assisted Cyclone vents and solar-powered fan vents. These fittings exhaust the RV's holding-tank plumbing vent; they are not refrigerator combustion vents or 14 × 14-inch roof fans.
Component-location guide — what is being replaced?
1 · Plumbing stackVertical pipe that allows an RV holding tank to vent through the roof. Measure the pipe's outside diameter and projection before selecting a cap or kit.
2 · Roof flange and baseFixes the vent assembly to the roof. A cap-only replacement does not repair cracked flange plastic, defective screws or a failed roof seal.
3 · Protective cap or draft headCamco 40034 is a replacement cap, 40033 is a complete kit and 40595/40597 use a wind-assisted draft design.
4 · Optional active exhaustUltra-Fab 53-945001 uses its solar panel to drive a fan in sunlight. Do not assume night-time operation or an electrical connection.
Plumbing vent assemblies and replacement caps

Manufacturer selection differences
Camco 40033 vs 40034The 40033 Replace-All kit contains a vent assembly, cap, fasteners and putty tape, listed for 1–2⅜-inch outside-diameter pipe. 40034 is a replacement cap only; check the existing retaining mechanism.
Cyclone vs Ultra-Fab solarThe Camco 40595/40597 vent heads rely on wind for their draft effect. The Ultra-Fab 53-945001 is a solar-powered fan, with its own flange and installation requirements. These are not universal cross-brand conversions.
Other OEM plumbing-vent references
JR Products also lists mushroom-style roof vents 02-29115 (black) and 02-29125 (white) with a screw-on cap. See JR Products' original illustrated component listing. Select replacement parts by their full manufacturer numbers and the original vent configuration.
Roof-seal and service precautions
Ultra-Fab warns that solvents including xylene, toluene, MEK and acetone can damage the plastic flange. Use a roof- and plastic-compatible sealant, and seal the screw heads and flange perimeter according to the installation instructions. Do not block plumbing vents, paint the solar panel, or confuse waste-tank ventilation with refrigerator combustion exhaust.
For compatible tape and fastener kits, see the roof vent installation kits reference; for a complete roof-seal layer guide, see roof flange and termination sealing.
