FAQs

What size hole do I need to drill?

You need to drill a 70mm diameter hole.

Can these be painted?

While the vents are yellow, they can typically be painted to match your soffit boards using an appropriate exterior-grade plastic paint.

Are these suitable for new builds?

Yes, they can be used for new builds, though they are specifically marketed as an excellent retrofit solution.

Does this vent come in other colors?

This specific model is finished in yellow. Check with the manufacturer for alternative color availability if needed.

How many vents should I install?

The number of vents depends on the volume of your roof space and local building regulations regarding ventilation requirements.

Troubleshooting

Vent feels loose after installation

Ensure the hole was cut to exactly 70mm; if the hole is too large, the locking tabs will not catch properly.

Cannot twist the vent to lock it

Check for obstructions behind the soffit board or ensure the hole is free of plastic or wood burrs from the cutting process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to retrofit into existing eaves
  • No special tools required beyond a standard holesaw
  • Secure locking mechanism prevents it from falling out
  • Cost-effective way to improve roof space ventilation

Cons

  • Requires a precise 70mm hole for proper fitment
  • Limited color choice as these are finished in yellow
  • Not suitable for soffit materials thicker than standard specifications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the soffit board is sound and clear of obstructions like insulation or timber battens behind the chosen hole location. Use a 70mm holesaw to drill the hole, clean away any debris, and push the circular vent into the opening. Rotate the face to engage the locking tabs. For maintenance, periodically inspect the vents to ensure they remain clear of debris, insect nests, or paint buildup that might restrict airflow. If they become dirty, wipe them with a damp cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals that may degrade the plastic material.
