8.   Options for Operating Vents

8a  Cable System  

Install a standard small cable pulley 

(not provided) just above the top seal. 

String cord through the Vent door to 

the pulley as shown and then tie into 

your cable operating system.

Our Vent System provides 3 optional operating drive systems: 

Standard 

cable 

(8a), 

Torque Tube Drive 

(8b,c), or by 

Rack and Pinion 

(8d).

8b  Torque Tube Drive System   

See step 8c for Torque Tube installation.  With Torque Tube installed, drill a 3/8” hole 

through the Tube. Wrap cord as shown around the 

backside

of the Tube with a 

minimum 

of 8 wraps

.  Then string cord through the holes and secure with a cord lock.

Option:

You may avoid drilling a hole through the Tube by installing with a screw as 

shown in Pic #2.
