Vetus CHINOOK Silicone Cowl Ventilator Ø100 mm with Red Interior and Deck Ring
The Vetus CHINOOK cowl ventilator is engineered from high-quality silicone rubber, delivering exceptional longevity and performance in demanding marine environments. Silicone, an inorganic synthetic elastomer, offers outstanding flexibility and retains its dynamic properties across a wide temperature spectrum ranging from -100°C to +200°C. Unlike organic rubber compounds, silicone does not discolour when exposed to UV radiation, ensuring the ventilator maintains its clean, new appearance even after years of outdoor use.
The ventilator includes a synthetic deck ring and nut, providing secure mounting and allowing the cowl to revolve or be removed with ease by loosening the hand-operated ring. The interior is finished in red (RAL3020), preserving the classical marine aesthetic. Optional accessories available for this model include a Monel mosquito screen and an AISI 316 stainless-steel closure plate.
