Troubleshooting
Vent doesn't seem to allow much airflow.
Ensure there are no obstructions behind the vent within the brick aperture. Check if the louvers are clear of debris. If used in a warm air system, ensure the system is active and pushing air.
Screws won't hold the vent securely.
Verify you are using the recommended 'No.6 gauge round head screws'. Ensure the mounting surface is sound and not crumbling. If mounting into plasterboard, use appropriate wall anchors.
Visible corrosion on the vent surface.
This may occur with prolonged exterior exposure. Clean the affected area gently and apply a suitable metal paint or sealant if desired for protection. Consider alternative materials if in a highly corrosive environment.
