View A10-1310VPValterra Refrigerator Vent Screens: Norcold & Dometic Louver Guide
RV refrigerator exterior vents must allow air to circulate around the refrigerator's cooling system. Insects can enter through the louvered openings, so Valterra makes stainless-steel mesh screens that fit inside specific vent-cover patterns. These three kits differ in louver length, number of screens and refrigerator vent style; choosing by the refrigerator brand alone is not enough.

Which version should you choose?
A10-1310VP contains three screens measuring 19.6 × 1.3 inches for matching Norcold refrigerator vent louvers. A10-1312VP also contains three screens, but each is much longer at 27.5 × 1.3 inches. They are not interchangeable based on refrigerator brand or package count. A10-1313VP is a six-pack of smaller 8.1 × 1.5-inch screens for matching short-louver Dometic exterior vent covers.
Measure the actual opening in the installed exterior vent cover, including its length, height and number of louvers. A replacement vent cover may differ from the original refrigerator installation, so the cover in front of you is the most useful starting point.

View A10-1313VPHow these components work together
Exterior vent cover
Its existing louvers provide the air path for the refrigerator installation.
Stainless mesh screen
A correctly sized screen covers each matching opening to deter nesting insects.
Attachment ties
Secure the screen to appropriate louver locations according to the kit instructions.
Unobstructed airflow
Keep the mesh clear so the refrigerator can ventilate properly.
This parts reference identifies the components rather than depicting a manufacturer-specific refrigerator ventilation diagram. These screens are not replacement covers, roof vents or cooling-system components.
Before installing
- Identify the exterior vent cover. Check whether it has three long louvers or six short louvers; record the actual opening dimensions.
- Choose the exact screen length. Compare the individual screen size above, not just the package quantity or refrigerator name.
- Follow the installation instructions. Secure the mesh inside the applicable louvers with the specified attachment method and do not modify refrigerator exhaust or ventilation passages.
- Inspect monthly. Clean insects, dirt, leaves and nesting material whenever needed so the vent does not become blocked.
- Check appliance ventilation. Do not operate a refrigerator with obstructed air openings; follow its manufacturer's clearance and airflow requirements.
