FAQs

What is the primary function of the gravity grille?

The gravity grille automatically closes when the ventilation fan is off, preventing backdrafts, unwanted air, and debris from entering the ventilation system.

What is the diameter of the ducting included?

The kit includes 125mm (5-inch) diameter flexible ducting.

Can this kit be used for both supply and extract ventilation?

This kit is primarily designed for extract ventilation systems, where it prevents the ingress of air when the fan is not operating.

How long is the flexible ducting provided?

The kit comes with 1 meter of flexible ducting.

What material is the grille made from?

The grille is constructed from high-quality plastic.

Is this product suitable for commercial kitchens?

While suitable for general ventilation, specific commercial kitchen exhaust requirements may necessitate more heavy-duty or specialized equipment. This kit is ideal for typical residential and light commercial applications.

How do I clean the gravity grille?

You can clean the gravity grille with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing it from closing properly after cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Gravity grille does not close automatically.

Ensure the ducting is not restricting the grille's movement. Check for any debris or obstructions preventing it from seating correctly. Verify the installation angle is appropriate for gravity to assist closure.

Reduced airflow from the ventilation system.

Inspect the flexible ducting for kinks, twists, or blockages. Clean the gravity grille and the fan outlet if they appear dirty or obstructed.

Noise during operation.

Ensure the ducting is securely connected and not vibrating against surfaces. Check if the fan unit itself is the source of the noise.

The grille appears stuck open.

Gently check if the flap mechanism is obstructed by dust, paint, or foreign objects. Clean carefully with a soft brush or damp cloth.
