The mounting and fitting details depend on the wall construction and should be determined
before installation.
Vents installed in walls should be fitted with rain shields. The rain shields are attached to
the vent once it has been mounted in the wall. Use fasteners adequate to the wall type, 4.0..4.5
mm in diameter. For fixing the shields to the wall use the pre-drilled mounting holes. The gap
between the rain shields and the wall should be filled with the supplied PES 5x20 gasket or
butyl tape or a silicone sealant.
With the rain shield in place, the assembly is not as yet weatherproof. To make it fully
weatherproof, the joint between the base and the wall surface must be sealed.
