Standard models are made of aluminium sheet. Wind deflectors are delivered as customised bent elements or prefabricated products for manual bending (with pre-marked recesses at the bending points), along with wind deflectors holders fixed to the vent base.
C, E, NG-A T mcr-PROLIGHT V ENTS (DTR) PERATIONS AND AINTENANCE ANUAL 6.2. Inlet deflector. Inlet deflector slats will increase active aerodynamic efficiency of C and E type vents, which means increased smoke venting surface. Fixed at the bottom part of the vent base, the inlet deflector is made of zinc coated steel sheet or, as an option, of aluminium sheet, and may be painted in any RAL chart colour.

(HOOKED BRACKET, EYE BOLTS AND 'T' BOLTS) Vent leaf is linked with actuator via the hooked bracket which is locked on the 'T' bolt. Pneumatic actuators and electric spindle actuators are connected with the hooked bracket by means of an eye bolt which is screwed into the actuator piston rod / spindle.
