1201 | Telescopic Underfloor Vent 3-5 Courses

Adjustable ventilator to provide ventilation beneath suspended ground floors up to 5 brick courses. With incorporated grille to prevent vermin entry.

The vertical height of the ventilator unit adjusts to suit between 3 and 5 brick courses (225mm-375mm) with a minimum cavity width of 50mm.

We have an extensive range of easy-to-fit horizontal and vertical extension accessories, that do not restrict airflow, to adapt the unit for various applications.

Use:

  • To provide ventilation below suspended ground floors.

  • Available in black only in packs of 20.
  • Always use in conjunction with a 1201AB airbrick from Timloc.
  • The airbrick and upper front opening of the telescopic underfloor ventilator must be positioned above the finished external ground level – usually at the same level as the ground level DPC.
  • The lower rear opening of the product must project down to the level of the underfloor void and must not be obstructed by the floor construction. A vertical extension sleeve is available to fit with this product if the standard 5 course step is not adequate.
  • Building Regulations require a free airflow below suspended ground floors of at least 1500mm2 per metre run of wall. This can be achieved by spacing the ventilators at 4m centres, however, such a wide spacing is not recommended as stagnant air pockets could form in the underfloor void. Timloc recommend a spacing of not more than 2m centres to comply with NHBC standards.
  • The NHBC recommend that underfloor ventilators are spaced at a maximum of 2m centres, with ventilators also positioned not more than 450mm from the ends of the wall.
  • As a minimum requirement, ventilators should be positioned down two opposite sides of the building so as to create a cross flow ventilation action. It is good practice to position ventilators around the full perimeter of the building, particularly with complex building designs.
  • If the underfloor void is separated by dividing walls, openings must be provided to allow a free flow of air around the underfloor void.
  • The standard ventilator will fit into a cavity wall with an external leaf of 100-102.5mm, a minimum cavity width of 50mm and a cross cavity of 100mm. External and internal horizontal extension sleeves are available to accommodate thicker walls or wider cavities.
  • To be installed with a DPC Cavity tray and wall weeps to collect any water ingress. We recommend Timloc’s IL4 and 2 weeps (Invisiweep or 1143 Cavity Wall Weep Vent).
  • When incorporating with a gas barrier system and adjusted to the required height, the joining sections should be sealed with proprietary tape.
  • It may be a requirement to protect with a lintel for direct loads.
  • Measure the length of each wall requiring telescopic underfloor ventilators and divide by 2m to establish the quantity required.
  • Always round up if the calculation does not work out to an exact whole number.
  • To be installed with a DPC cavity tray and wall weeps to collect any water ingress. We recommend Timloc’s IL4 and 2 weeps (Invisiweep or 1143 Cavity Wall Weep Vent).
