Product Information

Full details

The Dryzone Telescopic Passive Vent is for homeowners seeking a simple, maintenance-free solution to improve indoor air quality and combat condensation and mould. Its key benefit is supporting continuous natural airflow to allow fresh air in and stale, humid air out, without noise or electricity. A potential caveat is its passive nature, meaning it relies solely on natural pressure differences for ventilation. This unit features an adjustable iris shutter for airflow control, silent operation, and telescopic ducting for easy installation in walls up to 500 mm thick.

FAQs

How does the passive vent work without electricity?

The vent utilizes natural pressure differences between indoor and outdoor air, along with temperature variations, to create a gentle airflow that exchanges stale air for fresh air.

What is the maximum wall thickness this vent can accommodate?

The telescopic ducting is designed to fit walls up to 500 mm thick.

How often should I clean the filter?

It is recommended to clean the filter monthly, or more frequently if you notice a significant reduction in airflow or a buildup of dust.

Can I install this vent myself?

Yes, the kit includes all necessary components for installation, and the telescopic ducting simplifies the process for walls up to 500 mm thick. Basic DIY skills are required.

Will this vent stop all condensation?

The vent significantly helps reduce condensation by improving air circulation. However, it may not eliminate all condensation if internal moisture levels are extremely high or if there are other contributing factors.

What is the warranty period?

The Dryzone Telescopic Passive Vent comes with a five-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

Low airflow

Ensure the iris shutter is fully open. Check if the internal filter is clean and not blocked. Verify there are no obstructions on the exterior hood.

Condensation still present

While the vent improves air quality, significant condensation may indicate a need for additional ventilation or a reduction in internal moisture sources. Ensure the vent is correctly installed and the filter is clean.

Difficulty adjusting shutter

Gently rotate the shutter. If it feels stiff, check for any debris that might be obstructing its movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired location for the vent, typically high on an external wall near the ceiling.
  2. Use the internal grille and external hood as guides to mark and cut an appropriate-sized hole through the wall.
  3. Insert the telescopic duct into the wall opening, adjusting its length to fit the wall thickness. Ensure a snug fit.
  4. Attach the internal grille with its filter and the external hood to the duct ends.
  5. Secure the unit using the provided screws and wall plugs.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for external walls up to 500 mm thick.

Care:

  • The internal grille contains a cleanable filter. Regularly remove the grille and wash the filter with mild soap and water. Allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
  • Wipe the external hood and internal grille with a damp cloth as needed. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
