The Manthorpe 9 x 9 Adjustable Hit & Miss Air Vent is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to manage indoor air circulation in specific areas like larders, cupboards, and internal partition walls. Its primary benefit is the versatile sliding mechanism that allows for precise control over airflow, helping to prevent stagnant air or block unwanted drafts. However, it is important to note that this specific model is not designed or certified for the ventilation of gas appliances, requiring users to seek specialized alternatives for heating or boiler flues.

Align the unit over the aperture and secure it to the wall using the provided concealed fixing screws. Once the frame is fixed, reattach the flyscreen and faceplate.
