I (very respectfully) disagree with Bud and Terry. Both are very knowledgeable and so it simply is a matter of opinion. I absolutely do not think (any brand of) mechanical vent should be allowed in any plumbing code. They are mechanical and for that reason WILL fail. A failed vent in an attic (it WILL happen eventually to ALL mechanical vents) is a danger to people. I understand the snow covering the vent thought but there are ways to place (non mechanical) vents so that they will not be covered. Just my opinion :-) :-)
