Fitting & Usage
- Prepare the sash or frame by cutting out the internal and external slots (see routing detail).
- Push the interior flap against the internal slot, and feel its clips grip.
- Push the exterior hood against the external slot, and feel its clips grip.
- To better combat water ingress, a fine bead of silicone can be applied where the top of the exterior hood touches the frame or sash.
Note: You can also further secure the interior and exterior parts using screws. To do so, just fold down the flap and hood, to reveal the screw ports, then secure with countersunk 25 x 4.3mm, or 25 x 3.8mm gimlet point screws. Finish by folding the hood and flap, back into position.
Maintenance
The SlotVent requires very little maintenance, a simple wipe with a damp cloth every 6 months, and a light brushing of the external hood will keep it working well.
