Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires removing the existing slate at the desired location and securing the vent in its place using standard roofing techniques. Ensure that the flashing and drainage channels are correctly positioned to prevent water ingress. Regarding compatibility, this vent is strictly intended for use with 600 x 300mm or 500 x 250mm slates. Maintenance is minimal; it is recommended to conduct a visual inspection during annual gutter cleaning to ensure the hooded opening remains clear of bird nests or heavy debris. If using the unit for mechanical extraction, verify the pipe seal annually to ensure no moisture is leaking into the roof void.
