How to fit an external vent cover - install hooded air cowl vent cover

This video shows how to fit a hooded external air cowl vent cover over an existing plastic double air brick. It can help protect against wind and rain. *Important note* please ensure that any installation of hooded cowl and/or vents in dwellings comply with Building Regulations Part F, and that they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Often the manufacturer and distributor will state if the specific cowl complies with Building Regulations Part F (which helps). Please remember that ventilation for gas appliances and extractor fans may have different requirements than those for air bricks and hence should be installed by a competent person.
