fastening it to the exterior of the building using fasteners
(by others) appropriate to the installation. Seal the top and
sides with a waterproof caulk to make it weather-tight. Do
not caulk the bottom of the louver; doing so might trap
unwanted moisture behind the flange.
If the louver is supplied with no flanges, (
place the louver in the opening so that it is recessed a
minimum 1/16" (2mm) beyond the building facade or
as directed in the architectural plans. If specified in the
plans, secure the louver in the wall using mechanical
fasteners (supplied by others) appropriate to the
installation. (See
With the louver solidly in place, run a bead of caulk
around the perimeter of the louver to seal it weather-
tight. Do not plug the weep holes (horizontal louver) or
the drip line (vertical louver). This might restrict the flow
of unwanted moisture to the outside.
See
instead of the sloping mortar base. Caulk the flashing
where it meets the inside of the opening between the
louver and the unit. This helps prevent moisture from
getting under the flashing and into the room.

Installing the VentiMatic
Shutter Assembly
The VentiMatic Shutter Assembly is mounted on
an installed wall louver. For larger units with 100%
ventilation air dampers, two VentiMatic Shutters may be
mounted side by side on the same louver, see
The size and appearance of the wall louvers with or
without optional grilles used with the unit ventilator, and
the VentiMatic Shutter, are identical.
When installing VentiMatic Shutter(s) on the wall
louver, make sure all moving parts are free to operate
unobstructed and placed level and plumb for proper
operation. If optional steel interior wall grille is furnished,
