Product Detail
Product Detail
The product consists of an internal unit with adjustable closures to regulate incoming air flow and a choice of external protective screens.
Internal ventilator
The product is based on a modular concept. The base module carries a male and female dovetail on opposite ends. This allows them to be quickly joined to give the required equivalent area. Complimentary end caps are then fitted to complete the assembly. Product is of course available assembled to customers requirements.
The modules carry a moulded pair of spring clips that enable them to be firmly snapped into the routed slot in the profile. This has obvious cost savings when compared with “Screw Fitting” alternatives.
The unique patiented closure action, gives two intermediate opening positions as well as “Closed”and “Fully Open”.
External canopy
The modular and snap fitting features, as well as footprint, are common between internal and external units.
An alternative exterior units are available.
FLAT GRILLE Designed primarily for installation in a near horizontal plane.

Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
Installation simply requires the routing of a 19 mm (3/4 inch) slot through the profile. In order to preserve the maximum structural integrity of the profile the use of separate slots for each 2000 Module is recommended. i.e. Leave 6.5 mm bridgings between modules.
Ensure that the ventilator is correctly positioned relative to the routed slots prior to snapping the ventilator into place; as the installation is permanent.
- Typical of all sizes
- Use a 19 mm or 3/4 inch diameter cutter
- Rout a Slot 132 mm x 19 mm for each Module
- Leave 6.5 mm Lands between modules for multi-module installations
