Vetus CHINOOKS Silicone Cowl Ventilator Ø100 mm with Fixed Synthetic Ring
The Vetus CHINOOKS cowl ventilator is crafted from high-quality silicone rubber, an inorganic elastomer known for its durability, stability, and resistance to environmental degradation. Silicone’s unique molecular structure ensures flexibility across extreme temperatures from -100°C to +200°C, while preventing UV-induced discoloration even after prolonged exposure to sunlight. This guarantees that the ventilator maintains its original appearance and mechanical properties throughout years of marine service.
The “S” model designation indicates a fixed synthetic ring designed for secure deck mounting. This ring can be removed when needed, making it suitable for installations where only the replacement cowl is required. The cowl itself can revolve and be taken off manually by loosening the hand-operated nut. The internal red RAL3020 finish preserves the traditional Vetus aesthetic. Optional accessories include a Monel mosquito screen and an AISI 316 stainless-steel closure plate.
