The hole diameter should be 4.5 inches. For added security apply mastic sealant between the guidelines on the underside of the solar vent 1000. For glass applications we recommend use of the large foam gasket without using sealant.

Yes, this can be used as a gable vent since the area you are venting is smaller in size, I would not rely on this to vent an attack on a home.

Yes, this would work great for your application on a small storage shed, and it can be mounted vertically while there is sunlight hitting the vent.
