0:46
by day as we modify containers and
0:48
install accessories
0:53
a lot of people seem to be concerned
0:54
about the plastic in this vent design
0:56
but can place have been manufacturing
0:58
vents for the residential market in
0:59
canada for over 50 years their
1:01
proprietary polypropylene doesn't break
1:04
down from long exposure to uv light or
1:06
cold temperatures durflow's even pitched
1:08
baseballs at their vents to prove how
1:10
much stronger their plastic vents are
1:12
than aluminum the first step to
1:14
installing these vents is actually
1:15
figuring out where on your shipping
1:16
container you want to install them so we
1:19
recommend if you're only using two
1:20
bigger 45 vents to put one high and one
1:23
low on opposite corners of the container
1:25
included with your vents will be a paper
1:28
template which has the rough opening
1:30
that is nine inches wide and 14 inches
1:34
tall you can tape your paper template to
1:37
the container once you have that in
1:39
place make sure you hold up your vent
1:41
and ensure that the vent will fit nicely
1:44
in the hole that you have laid out and
1:48
the key number one most important thing
1:50
here is that you're doing this on
1:52
outside corrugations so you want to make
1:55
sure that you leave yourself with
1:56
something to secure the outside flange
2:00
of the big air 45 vent to so if you
2:02
installed it one corrugation over or you
2:04
had inside corrugations on both sides
2:06
this would not work now you got to get
2:08
out the welder and fix your hole so grab
2:10
your felt tip marker and follow along
2:13
the marking template that's now stuck to
2:15
your container make sure you at least
2:16
mark the outside corrugations and then
2:18
once you remove the marking template you
2:20
can finish marking the inside
2:21
corrugations afterwards
2:43
once you've got your vent in place nice
2:44
and snug in there now just grab your
2:46
drill drill through all the cut holes
2:49
and then just follow along again once
2:51
more with the rivets
2:55
final step is a nice bead of silicone
2:57
along the top and the bottom
2:59
and that'll keep water from intruding in
3:01
also if water is ever to get into the
3:04
gable vent here there are two drain
3:06
holes on the inside corrugation section
3:09
of this vent and that will allow the
3:10
water to drain and drip out of this vent
3:12
so don't be worried about no water
3:14
coming in and around if it does get in
3:16
it'll get out so given the way that air
3:18
moves in these containers the lower one
3:20
will typically act as the intake so for
3:23
this we are going to be installing it on
3:25
the sidewall corrugation so you see the
3:27
different corrugation profile on the
3:28
sidewalls big thing to note here is you
3:31
need to choose the outside corrugations
3:33
on both sides again if you installed it
3:36
over here and had nothing to install it
3:38
this vent would not work so the outside
3:41
flanges require the outside corrugations
3:44
to rivet or self-tapping screw into and
3:47
then for this one just for demonstration
3:48
purposes we're going to be installing
3:50
the big air 45 vent with the bug screen
3:52
so you see the difference here
3:54
some people especially in the lower
3:56
united states are concerned about little
3:58
critters crawling through that tiny
4:00
little gap there i don't really see it
4:02
happening but to solve that problem
4:04
there is this uh bug screen which is the
4:06
same mesh material that's on your screen
4:08
door of your home so this here will get
4:10
her installed and show you how this
4:11
works as well

4:30
if you're fussy you can even jump inside
4:32
and silicone along the top edge down the
4:34
sides and even your rivets in case the
4:36
center punches out
4:38
there is the cheapest insurance money
4:39
can buy to protect your valuables from
4:41
the elements if you're looking to keep
4:43
your items secure from vandals check out
