TRANSPORT AND DELIVERY mcr-PROLIGHT type DVP, DVPS vents are delivered pre-assembled, but in specific cases (additional external processing, low base heights, etc.) they may be delivered in the form of assemblies.
Ø6 mm wood Fig. 4 Method of mcr-PROLIGHT DVP positioning on the roof - fixtures spacing The vent bases are ready for flashing works with roofing paper, PVC membrane or steel sheet. The vent base, in its upper part, features a galvanized steel sheet strip at its full circumference, which is used for fixing flashings/coverings using screws.

After installing the vent, protective foil must be removed from all external aluminium elements of the vent (pressing frames, pressing strip) and from the vent glazing (PCA, laminate panels, acrylic domes). Leaving foil on the device may cause permanent discolorations of elements, and become hard to remove.
