Product Information
Full details
The Securit Hit & Miss Air Vent is an ideal solution for homeowners and professionals seeking a reliable, low-maintenance ventilation method for domestic and commercial spaces. Its primary benefit is the combination of adjustable airflow control and an integrated insect screen, ensuring consistent circulation without pests. A key caveat to note is that this ventilation unit is strictly for general air circulation and must not be used to vent gas appliances, as it does not meet the specific safety requirements for gas exhaust.

FAQs
Can I use this for a gas boiler flue?
No. This vent is strictly for general ventilation and is not certified or designed for use with gas appliances.
How do I mount this vent?
The vent should be screwed directly into the wall surface surrounding the ventilation hole. Ensure the hole is slightly smaller than the outer dimensions of the vent frame for a secure fit.
What is the total free air space?
This model provides 6350 sq mm of free air space when fully opened.
Does the flyscreen come out for cleaning?
The flyscreen is fixed to the unit for structural integrity, but it can be cleaned while attached using a soft brush or vacuum hose.
Can this be painted?
While the plastic is durable, painting is generally not recommended as it may interfere with the movement of the sliding hit-and-miss panel.
Troubleshooting
The sliding vent panel feels stuck or difficult to move.
Check for debris, paint accumulation, or grit in the track. Clean the track with a dry cloth and ensure the unit was not overtightened during installation, which can warp the frame.
Airflow seems insufficient despite the vent being fully open.
Check the integrated flyscreen for accumulated dust or insect debris. Gently brush the screen to restore airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation typically requires basic DIY tools to secure the frame to the wall substrate. Ensure the wall aperture is clean and level before mounting the vent to ensure the sliding mechanism operates smoothly. To maintain the unit, occasionally wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust. If the insect screen becomes blocked with debris over time, use a soft-bristled brush to gently clear the mesh without damaging the plastic frame. Periodically check that the sliding plate is clear of paint or buildup to maintain easy operation.
