Solarvent automatic opener

17 years ago

We bought a Solarvent automatic opener to use in a cold frame in the 80's and then never used it. So this year we are building a cold frame and we no longer have the instructions for installation. Is there anyone out there who has one of these and remembers how they are installed? They were manufactured by Dalen

Thanks

Did the exact same thing - bought one for a cold frame, then never used it. But it is still in the original box with the instructions. It was unearthed from the garage several years ago when I was going to use it on the green house, but I went with a powered-opening vent instead.

I'll see if I can find it again without a major archeolgical expedition....

Sorry it took so long...'unearthed' the opener over the weekend in an expedition to the deepest, darkest part of the garage....

Unfortunately, it's a "Thermofor" rather than a Solarvent, Still in its original packaging along with the instructions, though.

Cheers
