Full details

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.

What is the total free ventilation area?

Can this be painted?

The vent is made of plastic; while it can be painted, ensure you use a primer suitable for plastic surfaces to avoid peeling.

What is the maximum opening size it covers?

Troubleshooting

The slider mechanism feels stiff.

Ensure no dust or debris has lodged in the sliding tracks. Gently wipe the tracks with a clean cloth.

Airflow seems restricted even when fully open.

Check the integrated flyscreen for accumulated dust or lint buildup and clean the mesh as needed.

Screw covers are not sitting flush.

Verify that the screws have been tightened appropriately to the substrate without overtightening, which can cause the plastic frame to warp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward as the unit is designed for surface mounting over 229 x 229mm openings. To install, first disengage the flyscreen from the faceplate. 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. For care and maintenance, wipe the surface with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust buildup. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or solvent-based cleaners that may yellow or degrade the plastic material over time. Periodically check that the sliding mechanism moves freely and remove any dust trapped in the mesh screen to ensure optimal airflow performance.
