The Rotorvent Turbolite is a brand new addition to the well loved Colt Cowl range. The new revolving cowl is more aerodynamic, more efficient and now comes with an additional strap fixing kit included. The same high specifications that have made the original Rotorvent such a popular product are included in this product as standard. Fins are made from stainless steel, and the same fin fixing method which has been tried and tested for many years is still utilised. The main benefits of the Rotorvent Turbolite can be seen on the base of the product. The base is made from pressure die cast aluminium affording a strong and durable finish. The base is 30% lighter than the original Rotorvent whilst maintaining its strength. The rounder, thinner and more aerodynamically designed legs achieve a greater floe of gases through a larger area making the performance altogether superior. Tests indicate that the Turbolite provides even better performance than the original Rotorvent. The fact that the model is lighter also makes it suitable for installation on top of flue systems and mathane vent pipes as well as the traditional chimney pot. Above all these benefits the Turbolite comes complete with 2 fixing methods. The time honoured hook bolt is still the preferred method of fixing Rotorvents but included with the Turbolite is a strap fixing kit. Hook bolts can be tightened in the same way but there is now the option of the strap fixing kit as well for extra security in areas of the country with very high wind speeds. The legs simply attach underneath the wingnut, drop down the outside of the chimney pot or flue where the jubilee clip is then fastened (see illustration above)

Performance

All Rotorvent® products have been designed with over 80 years experience of the aerodynamics of chimney cowls. The original Rotorvent® was developed with one prime objective:- to be the most efficient and powerful rotating chimney cowl on the market. This purpose has never been forgotten. In fact, we are so confident of the Rotorvent® range that all products within it are offered with the well known Colt Cowl unconditional money back guarantee. All Rotorvent® products continue to be made using the unique fin fixing system introduced over a decade ago. This system ensures that the blades of the fin stay where they should. External welding or riveting of the fins has proven in the past to have failed, and so all Rotorvents® use centrifugal forces to their advantage. As the rotating chimney cowl accelerates, the tabs are forced inside the collar, putting no pressure whatsoever on the weld and indeed strengthening the structure.
