Troubleshooting
Vent strip does not fit snugly on the board
Verify that your soffit board thickness is between 4mm and 12mm. If it is thinner than 4mm, it may require a shim.
Visible debris accumulation in the slots
Use a soft brush or low-pressure water spray to clear any obstruction during routine roof maintenance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your fascia board is correctly positioned. The vent is designed for a friction fit onto the soffit board edge; ensure the board is clean of heavy grit before sliding the vent into place. It is compatible with standard plastic or timber soffits within the 4mm to 12mm range. For maintenance, a periodic visual inspection from ground level with binoculars is typically sufficient to ensure the slots remain free of thick moss or debris accumulation, though its design naturally minimizes the risk of blockage.
