Troubleshooting
Insufficient airflow or persistent condensation.
Check for blockages in the vent or ducting. Ensure the roof pitch is within the recommended range (35°-50°) and the headlap does not exceed 100mm. Consider installing additional vents if the roof space is large.
Vent does not fit securely.
Verify that the vent is being installed on a plain tile roof and that the cut-out opening is the correct size for the vent. Ensure correct overlap with surrounding tiles.
Ducting connection is loose.
Ensure the 4" (100mm) ducting is fully inserted into the adaptor and secured according to the ducting manufacturer's instructions. The adaptor itself should be firmly attached to the tile vent.
