The Thermofor Louver Vent Replacement Cylinder is designed to restore smooth, automatic operation to your greenhouse louver vent opener. Compatible with Thermofor, Robinsons, and Alton branded louver openers, this replacement cylinder helps maintain proper airflow and temperature control without manual adjustment.

Inside the cylinder is a heat-sensitive wax core that expands as temperatures rise and contracts as they cool. This natural movement powers the opening and closing of your louver vents, improving ventilation and protecting your plants from overheating.

KEY FEATURES
  • Wide compatibility: Fits Thermofor, Robinsons, and Alton louver vent openers.
  • Restores automatic ventilation: Keeps airflow consistent and responsive to temperature changes.
  • Heat-powered operation: No electricity or batteries required.
  • Replacement cylinder only: No fittings or mounting hardware included.

HOW IT WORKS

The cylinder uses a wax-filled core that reacts to temperature changes. As the greenhouse warms up, the wax expands and pushes the piston to open the louver vent. When temperatures drop, the wax contracts, allowing the vent to close. This automatic process helps maintain a stable growing environment throughout the day.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Keep the cylinder clean and free from debris to ensure smooth operation. Periodically inspect your louver opener to maintain proper alignment and performance.

Will this fit my greenhouse vent opener?
