FAQs

What size hole do I need to cut?

You need to cut a 70mm diameter hole into your soffit board.

Can I paint these vents?

While they are finished in black, they are made of plastic; check with a paint manufacturer for specialized plastics-adhesion paint if you need a different color.

How many vents should I install?

The number of vents depends on your roof size and building regulations for airflow; consult a building professional or local council guidelines for specific ventilation requirements.

Is this vent compatible with wooden soffits?

Yes, it is compatible with standard wooden, PVC, or composite soffit boards as long as the material can be cut to a 70mm hole.

Does it include an insect screen?

The product design focuses on airflow; refer to the specific model features to determine if an integrated mesh is present or if you need to add one.

Troubleshooting

Vent feels loose after installation

Ensure the hole is exactly 70mm; if the hole is too large, the twist-lock mechanism may not grip the edges of the board securely.

Difficulty inserting the vent

Check the edges of the hole for burrs or jagged plastic/wood; sand the edges smooth to ensure the vent slides in easily.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and straightforward installation process
  • Ideal for retrofitting existing properties
  • Effective at promoting airflow to reduce condensation
  • Secure mechanical locking mechanism
  • Compact and unobtrusive design

Cons

  • Requires precise 70mm hole cutting
  • Limited to specific circular applications
  • Not suitable for non-soffit ventilation needs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the vent, first identify the correct placement on your soffit board, ensuring you avoid internal rafters or joists. Use a 70mm hole saw to drill the aperture. Once the hole is clear of debris, push the G700BL vent into the opening and rotate it until the locking mechanism engages. For maintenance, periodically inspect the vents from the ground to ensure they remain free of insect nests or debris, especially in spring and autumn. If the black plastic becomes dusty or stained, a simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning.
