FAQs
Can I use this for a kitchen tumble dryer vent?
This kit is designed for general ventilation purposes; ensure your tumble dryer specifically requires a 100mm exhaust before use.
Is the ducting flexible or rigid?
The kit includes a rigid 500mm duct for superior airflow performance.
What is the exterior wall plate size?
The exterior wall plate measures 190mm x 190mm.
How do I clean the insect screen?
The indoor grille can be removed to access and clean the screen with a brush or damp cloth.
Does it come with sealant?
No, you will need to provide your own exterior-grade silicone sealant for the external wall penetration.
Can this be installed on a wooden wall?
Yes, but ensure you use appropriate fasteners for wood if the included masonry wall plugs are not suitable.
Troubleshooting
The damper makes a flapping noise in high winds.
Ensure the external hood is mounted level and that the damper flap is free of obstructions.
Airflow seems restricted.
Check the internal insect screen for dust buildup and ensure the ducting has not been crushed during wall installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Measure the wall thickness accurately to determine if the 500mm duct needs to be cut to length.
Installation: Core drill a hole through the wall slightly larger than the 103mm external duct diameter. Insert the duct, sealing the exterior gap with a high-quality silicone sealant to prevent water ingress.
Mounting: Secure the external hood using the provided 4 screws and wall plugs. Attach the internal grille by snapping it onto the internal duct end.
Care: Clean the insect screen periodically by removing the internal grille to ensure the mesh remains free of dust and lint buildup, which can restrict airflow over time. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the exterior cover to maintain the white finish.
