Bushfire Protect Vents Installation Instructions

Bushfire Protect Vents, fire and ember resistant vents are installed the same way as traditional vents with the same footprint. While we gladly offer installation services, you can also buy our products and install them yourself.

How to Install Bushfire Protect Gable Vents

It’s easy to install Bushfire Protect Vents. You simply insert one of our retrofit fire- and ember-resistant vents into the opening where the old vent used to be. The vents are held in place with product-appropriate screw fasteners and exterior-approved clear fire-resistant caulking. Gable Vents: You can install just like you would any other similar product.

Before cutting the existing vent, measure the “opening” dimensions (W x H).

+ Wipe the vents with a cloth and vinegar rub.

+ Spray with a metal primer.

+ Spray with an exterior paint of your choice and set aside to completely dry in the sun.

Cut the opening area (W x H) into plywood or siding material for vent installation.

If you have an existing vent, you should only need to cut out the existing horizontal slats using tin snips and pliers.

Apply fire-resistant caulking behind and around the back of the flange of the fire- and ember-resistant Bushfire Protect Vent. Use approved exterior fire-resistant clear/paintable fire-resistant sealant.

Bushfire Protect Vents can be installed horizontally or vertically. Use a level to ensure a level installation.

+ Use in all four corners and at nominal 100mm centres from there.

+ This must be done to complete proper installation.

+ Use your finger to smooth it out.

+ Use approved exterior clear/paintable sealant.
