FAQs

Can these airbricks be used for gas appliance ventilation?

Yes, the G930 is specifically designed and rated to be suitable for use with gas appliance ventilation requirements.

What are the dimensions of a single unit?

Each individual airbrick measures 9 inches wide by 3 inches high.

Can I stack more than two units?

Yes, the modular design allows for multiple units to be stacked, provided the masonry opening is sized correctly to accommodate the height.

Does the unit come with a sleeve?

This product is the airbrick itself; you may need to purchase compatible telescopic cavity sleeves separately depending on the wall construction.

Is the material weather resistant?

Yes, the units are made from durable, weather-resistant plastic designed for external exposure and include built-in water deflectors.

Troubleshooting

Airbrick feels loose after installation

Ensure the mortar was pushed adequately into the perimeter mortar key; if gaps persist, point the edges with additional mortar.

Difficulty clipping units together

Check the clip channels for any plastic flash or debris from shipping and ensure the units are aligned at a 180-degree angle before applying even pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile modular stacking capability for custom opening sizes
  • Suitable for gas appliance ventilation requirements
  • Durable construction with integrated water deflection
  • Provides high volume of airflow in a compact 9x3 footprint

Cons

  • Requires professional mortar finishing for secure installation
  • Limited to masonry applications
  • Modular clipping mechanism requires careful handling to ensure perfect alignment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard masonry skills. The units are designed to be built into the wall during the course of construction.

  1. Ensure the opening is prepared to the required dimensions (standard 9" increments).
  2. Apply a generous layer of mortar around the perimeter to engage with the molded mortar key.
  3. If stacking, clip the units together before setting them into the mortar bed to ensure structural alignment.
  4. Check the face of the brick for alignment with the surrounding brickwork.

For maintenance, periodic inspection is recommended to ensure the grille face remains clear of debris, vegetation, or blockage from exterior garden soil levels.
