Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can the duct be extended if my wall is thicker than 500mm?
Yes, you can purchase standard 100mm PVC ducting connectors and additional piping if a longer run is required.
Is this kit suitable for a kitchen extractor fan?
This kit is suitable for passive ventilation. If you are using a powered extractor fan, ensure the fan motor is rated for a 100mm duct diameter.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a drill with a 100mm core bit, a measuring tape, a level, a saw for the PVC duct, and silicone sealant.
Does the exterior cover come in other colors?
Yes, SolaDirect offers variants in other finishes, such as black or brown, under different model numbers.
How do I adjust the airflow?
The interior grille features a rotating or shutter mechanism that you can manually adjust to open or close the airflow path.
Troubleshooting
Drafts present even when vent is closed
Ensure the external backdraft damper is free of obstructions and sits flush against the wall cover.
Airflow seems restricted
Check the internal insect screen for accumulated dust or lint and clean it using a soft brush or vacuum.
Indoor grille is rattling
Verify that all mounting screws are tightened and the grille is properly seated against the wall surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a 100mm core drill or a hole saw capable of creating a clean opening through your wall. Ensure you measure your wall thickness accurately before cutting the 500mm PVC duct to size. Once the duct is placed through the wall, seal the exterior and interior gaps with suitable silicone or mortar to prevent moisture ingress. Maintenance is straightforward: the indoor grille should be periodically removed and cleaned of dust, and the insect screen should be checked for debris to ensure airflow is not restricted. If the backdraft damper becomes stuck, a quick cleaning of the hinge mechanism with a damp cloth is usually sufficient to restore smooth operation.
