Weve supplied the REG3 for Maccreanor Lavingtons restoration of a Bastwick street property in London.

The conservation vent has been instrumental in improving extractor efficiency as installers have been able to extract close to where the fan is positioned whereas in the past theyve ducted metres and metres of flexi pipe to terminate on a back wall to comply with building consent.

Cellar, Basement, Soil and Sewer Vent
Cast Iron Air Brick Company
Cast iron stand alone vent, used for centuries in properties around the country and now very much in vogue. This charming vent has two functions, either to connect to the stack of a sewar pipe to prevent loss of water traps when WC are flushed or to allow air down into cellars and basements.
The sewar vent function prevents smells escaping from sewars by an ingeneous and simple non return brass flap fitted onto the removable front panel. For basement and cellar ventilation this flap is replaced with mesh to allow a flow of air in either direction.
Both options use the same cast iron cellar/soil vent body with 4" (100mm) spigot and are available with aluminium or brass front plates.

Using Cast Iron Imperial 9x3 Air Bricks with Metric Cavity Wall Duct and Periscope
Cast Iron Air Brick Company
Imperial air bricks are about the size of a Victorian brick which is around 9 x 3 inch or 225 x 75mm. They are quite a bit smaller than a metric air brick which is 8 ½ x 2 ½ inch or 213 x 66mm.
The Cast Iron Air Brick Company have therefore designed an aluminium adapter to convert the metric duct so it will engage with many of the imperial air bricks we have.
We call the adapter the metimp the name which conveniently translates to metric imperial.
It is essential to use the adapter to connect all our 9x3 air bricks to metric ducting where the air brick doesnt have a cutaway frame. Please see the specification guidance for full details of each design.
