Skorter | Automatic Vent Opener - Standard

Smart temperature-sensitive device that automatically opens and closes the lids of cold frames, greenhouse windows, and even skylights. It operates throughout the day, ensuring a stable indoor climate, which is difficult to achieve with manual adjustments.

• Requires no batteries or electricity.
• Adjustments can be made for opening between 15-25°C. Fully open at 30-32°C. Completely closed at 13°C.
• Highly recommended for all our glass extensions, as it greatly enhances plant growth.
• The hydraulic cylinder comes with a 1-year warranty. The average lifespan of the cylinder is 5-10 years, although some may last up to 20 years.
• Can be screwed directly into polycarbonate panels, wood, or metal frames. The standard ventilator can open a hinged window or vent weighing up to 7 kg. For larger glass surfaces, use the more robust Gigavent with full metal construction, capable of lifting up to 29 kg.

Note from the manufacturer: It is advisable to lubricate the piston rod annually, as this will help extend the lifespan of the hydraulic cylinder. Avoid using solid grease, as dust particles can easily "stick" to the piston rod and potentially damage the rubber. Additionally, remember to unlock the valve during winter if the vent openers are installed. Even a weak winter sun can adequately heat the hydraulic cylinder enough to start pushing the piston rod out.

Replacement cylinders are available.
