General Details

TC18HCWL – Rytons 9×6 Cowled Ventilation Set with Hit & Miss Ventilator

Telescopic cavity liner set with external cowl for background room ventilation.
Allows the introduction of fresh outside air into the room to disperse moisture, odours and other airborne pollutants.
External cowl protects against excessive weather conditions and alleviates air blasts through the cavity.
Telescopic cavity liner contains a system of internal baffles to reduce light and draughts.
Internal hit & miss grille manually adjusted with a sliding action allowing ventilation to be controlled as required.
Cowl, air brick and hit & miss grille U.V. stabilised to slow down the effects of sunlight.
External water baffles prevent the transfer of water across the cavity.
Position at a high level (typically 1.7m above floor level) for all dwelling types and storey heights.
