It offers a universal design that integrates seamlessly with various tile styles, providing a reliable airflow path of 10,000mm² while maintaining a low profile on the roofline. Note that this unit requires a minimum roof pitch of 20 degrees, meaning it is not suitable for flat or low-pitch roof installations.

- Positioning: Locate the vent between rafters, ensuring it does not obstruct load-bearing structures.
- Tiling: Integrate the unit into the existing tile course, ensuring the headlap does not exceed 100mm.
- Ducting: Attach the 100mm round pipe to the adaptor using a jubilee clip or appropriate ducting tape for an airtight seal.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the vent opening for debris such as leaves or bird nesting material. Clean the exterior with mild soap and water if necessary, taking care not to damage the tile surface.
