Figure 3.1. - Roof ventilator short-circuiting of air
Ensure the roof ventilator base has an airtight seal.
If the unit does not have an airtight seal between the base and
the upstand, short-circuiting of outside air can occur thereby
reducing the amount of air being exhausted from the building.
An airtight seal between the upstand and fan base prevents
short-circuiting of outside air ensuring the fan is exhausting from
the designated space.
