Where is it? What's on other side of wall?
Gas appliances? Need more info please. Sorry can't be of more help. Maybe someone can identify based on look of vent alone but I am unable to. |

Every time I remove these type of vent covers, I find them to be simple covers. They will be covering a hole made for an water shut-off area or clean out area.
I'd be curious and I would have removed it. |

Pest control guys leave those around here a lot when treating for termites. I see those or something similar on walls opposite drains, especially tubs, that penetrate slab on grade foundations. They are usually a little lower when used for that though.
I have also seen something very similar that was a nightlight in a hallway and also exterior steps before. Excellence in Inspections Mike Boyett, TREC #7290 Capital City Inspections Austin, Texas Last edited by mboyett; 8/13/09 at 10:30 AM.. |

Looks a lot like a louvered stair tread light to me.
