EASY-VENT for renovationmodel FLEXI-G Air terminal device for mounting behind existing radiators
• Quiet and draught-free ventilation in older residences
• For buildings with mechanical exhaust air or natural ventilation
• The hole for the air intake is made above the radiator or an existing trickle vent is used
• Quick and easy mounting without having to remove the window sill or radiator
• Effective noise reduction from surroundings
ProducT FAcTS
Flexi is manufactured in hot-dip galvanized sheet steel and powder lacquered in pure white (colour RAL9010). The middle section is made of air-tight textile materials. Flexi is manufactured in Sweden and developed to meet tough climate conditions.
The clean and warmed fresh air flows into the room from over the upper edge of the radiator. Draught-free and silent. The apartment’s ”old” air is extracted via the kitchen hood and vents in the toilets and bathrooms.

QuIET PLAcES To LIVE
Many tenants are disturbed by traffic noise inside of their apartments. An installation with Flexi reduces the noise significantly as compared with a trickle vent. In areas that are heavily trafficked or are exposed to high levels of street-noise it may be necessary to use sound dampening ducts. Our range of ducts includes several models designed to suit the different types of wall construction that exist.
How THE FLEXI-G FuNcTIoNS
Outside air is led through the facade grille and intake duct into the air terminal that is mounted on the wall behind the radiator. At the inlet to the air terminal there is a filter that prevents pollen and other contaminants from following the fresh air into the room. The purified air flows into the air terminal and then flows up alongside the rear of the radiator. The air is effectively warmed when it comes into contact with the surface of the radiator before flowing out over its upper edge. Draught-free and silent.Easy-Vent for renovation is based upon natural physical principles. The design of the air terminal creates forced convection alongside the surface of the radiator. This combined with the large temperature difference between the radiator and the exterior air provides very effective heat transmission.
Flexi consists of sheet steel and textile materials and offers a unique combination of stability and adaptability

AIr INTAkE AboVE rAdIATor - VErTIcAL wALL
One of the following models may be suitable depending upon the type of radiator mounting.
They are: Flexi-G, Flexi-MK, Flexi-G narrow or Flexi-G with T-duct (see below).
A pre-requisite for being able to use Flexi is that the distance between the radiator’s upper edge and the window sill is at least 60 mm.
dImENSIoNS ANd VArIATIoNS
See the figures below. All of the figures show the air terminal with the side facing the radiator. The cleaning cover at the air terminal’s upper end is 30 mm wider than the air terminal.
mANY VArIATIoNS oF FLEXI
Flexi is available in many models. The models presented below are used when the facade wall is vertical and the air intake is placed at the upper edge of the radiator. If the facade wall is angled then the Flexi-SV is most suitable (see separate product sheet).
mouNTING
Flexi-G: A hole is made (1 x Ø85 mm or 2 x Ø51-55 mm) in the facade wall above the radiator. The duct and facade grille are mounted. The flexible Flexi is easily put into place behind the radiator and held in place with two screws at the upper edge.Flexi-G can also be mounted above an existing trickle vent placed under the window sill. Remove the cover for the trickle vent. Place the Flexi behind the radiator and fix in place with two screws above the trickle vent..
Flexi-mk: Used when the radiator is mounted on a centre bracket.
Flexi-G narrow and Flexi-G with T-duct: Used if the distance between the brackets is very short.

FILTEr
An effective basic filter made of synthetic fibres is delivered with each air terminal. The filter can easily be removed and replaced by opening the cleaning cover.
cLoSAbLE dAmPEr
All variations of the Flexi-G can be delivered with a damper that can be set to closed or open position. Note that the filter must be removed from the air terminal to be able to close the damper. This is a safety measure to avoid the damper being closed unintentionally.
The filter shall rest against the upper metal edge

AccESSorIES
Useful accessories can be seen below.
cIrcuLAr ducTS
Circular ducts are always used together with a facade grille.

cV 80sound attenuating duct for stud frame wallsDiameter 80 mmSize of hole: Ø85 mm
rEcTANGuLAr ducTS
All rectangular ducts open under the window ledge. This way the air intake is always hidden and does not have an effect on the appearance of the facade. The window ledge also acts as weather protection.
rTbRectangular duct with integrated grille and internal acoustic insulation. Suitably mounted in connection with change of window.
rA and rbRA and sound attenuating RB are rectangular ducts with integrated grille and plate for fastening to the wall. The RB duct is only used in stud frame walls.
FAcAdE GrILLES
Our facade grilles are manufactured using Aluzink sheet metal and are equipped with wire mesh to prevent small animals from coming through the duct. All grilles can be lacquered in the colour of your choice. Sound attenuating grilles are also available.
