The SolaDirect 100mm Wall Vent Kit is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to establish a reliable, direct ventilation path for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility areas. This comprehensive kit provides a complete solution for routing airflow through exterior walls, featuring a durable rigid PVC duct and aesthetic white grilles that blend into modern interiors. While it offers excellent protection against pests and backdraughts, it is important to note that the 500mm duct length is fixed and may require cutting or extension depending on the specific thickness of your wall construction.

This kit is designed for general ventilation. While it fits 100mm standards, ensure your appliance manufacturer approves the use of this specific grille/shutter type.
You will need a power drill, a 100mm masonry core drill bit or hole saw, a screwdriver, and potentially a spirit level.
Yes, the internal grille allows access to the nylon insect screen for periodic cleaning.
No, this is a passive ventilation ducting kit. It does not include an active extractor fan.
Yes, the rigid PVC duct can be cut to a shorter length using a fine-tooth hacksaw if your wall is thinner than 500mm.
The PVC construction is resistant to rust, making it a better choice than metal grilles in damp or salt-air environments.
Check if the shutter is obstructed by debris or if the grille was installed slightly unlevel, preventing gravity from closing the flap.
Check the internal insect screen for dust buildup and ensure the duct was not compressed or crimped during the installation process.
You will need to source a longer 100mm rigid PVC duct of the same diameter as this kit includes a fixed 500mm length.
Installation requires a 100mm diameter core hole drilled through the exterior wall. Use a masonry drill bit and appropriate hole saw to ensure a clean fit for the 100mm duct. Once the duct is positioned, secure the indoor and external grilles using the provided screws and wall plugs. To maintain the system, periodically remove the indoor grille to clean the nylon insect screen of any accumulated dust or lint to ensure unrestricted airflow. Inspect the external shutter once a year to ensure it is free from obstructions and pivots smoothly.
