FAQs
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a power drill and a 70mm holesaw bit.
How many vents do I need?
This depends on the square footage of your roof; consult local building regulations regarding the required total free air space.
Can these be painted?
While the vents come in a standard white finish, they are typically made of PVC which is not designed for painting; check with a professional if you require a different color.
Is this product suitable for wood soffits?
Yes, it works well with both wooden and PVC soffit boards as long as the thickness is within the standard range for the locking tabs.
Do I need to remove the soffit board to install this?
No, this is specifically designed as a retrofit product that can be installed from the outside.
Troubleshooting
Vent feels loose after installation
Ensure the hole cut is exactly 70mm; if the hole is too large, the retention tabs cannot grip the material.
Vent will not twist into lock position
Check for debris or splintered wood around the edge of the hole that may be preventing the locking mechanism from rotating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:
- Marking: Measure the distance between rafters and mark the center point on your soffit board for each vent.
- Drilling: Using a sharp 70mm hole saw, drill carefully through the soffit to ensure a clean, circular cut.
- Insertion: Push the Circular Soffit Vent into the hole.
- Locking: Twist the vent clockwise until you feel it click or lock firmly into the board.
Care Instructions: The vents are low maintenance. Periodically inspect them for debris or insect nests that might block airflow. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent to maintain the original white finish.
