Product Information

Full details

The Bayliss MK7 Autovent is an essential tool for greenhouse owners who want to maintain optimal growing conditions without the hassle of manual ventilation. Designed for gardeners who prioritize plant health and energy efficiency, this solar-powered device automatically adjusts your greenhouse vent based on ambient temperature. While it provides excellent set-and-forget climate control, it is important to note that it is strictly limited to vents weighing up to 6kg and measuring 60cm x 60cm, making it unsuitable for oversized or heavy-duty custom windows.

FAQs

Does this product require electricity?

No, the MK7 operates entirely on solar-thermal energy.

Can it be used on timber greenhouses?

Yes, it is fully compatible with both timber and aluminium framed vents.

What is the maximum weight the vent can support?

The MK7 is rated to support a lift load of up to 6kg.

At what temperature does it start opening?

The unit is designed to begin opening at approximately 12°C (55°F).

How large can my greenhouse vent be?

The device is compatible with vents measuring up to 60cm x 60cm (2ft x 2ft).

Should I leave it on during winter?

It is highly recommended to remove the cylinder during freezing temperatures to prevent damage to the internal seals.

Troubleshooting

The vent does not open when the temperature is high

Check that the vent hinges are not stiff and the window is not stuck. Ensure the cylinder is properly threaded into the assembly.

The vent stays open even when it is cold

The cylinder may need to be cooled down to reset. Ensure the piston rod is fully retracted and that no debris is obstructing the closing mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Requires zero electricity to operate
Easy to install on most standard greenhouses
Corrosion-resistant satin anodised finish

Cons

Not suitable for very large or heavy greenhouse vents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the MK7 is straightforward and includes all necessary mounting hardware for standard frames. Before installing, ensure your vent is free to open and close without resistance. If you are using the unit on an aluminium frame, verify you have the appropriate adapter brackets if necessary. For maintenance, simply wipe the rod with a soft cloth to keep it clean of debris or grit. In the winter months, it is recommended to disconnect the cylinder and store it indoors to protect the seals from sub-zero temperatures, which can cause the internal mechanism to leak or become damaged.
