Air supply ventilation valve Air Box Comfort Comfort white

After installing sealed plastic windows, a person is faced with stuffiness and condensation on the slopes and frame. The cheapest and most effective solution to the problem is the use of supply ventilation valves, which provide fresh air into the room from the street without requiring the opening of a window.

One such product is an air valve from the Russian manufacturer Air-Box (Air Box). The product is available in 3 variations, with differences in characteristics and installation method.

Advantages of using Airbox Comfort window valves

• Due to minimal financial investments, the problem of air exchange in the room is solved
• The appearance of the window remains unchanged
• The window valve can be easily installed not only in new, but also in already installed windows
• Thanks to the valve, condensation and mold do not form on the windows, which preserves the health of your family
• keeps the thermal and sound insulation of the window unchanged

Recommendations for valve operation

Standard equipment of the Airbox Comfort valve
The Air Box Comfort window supply valve is more susceptible to icing in winter than others, since the air flow is directed strictly upward by the valve design. Often, in winter, many heating appliances are turned on in the apartment, and home ventilation is not used to save heat. This causes warm air to flow back out through the valve, which condenses in the valve itself and can turn to ice if the outside temperature is -10 degrees or colder.

Based on the manufacturer's reviews and recommendations, in order for the Air Box Comfort ventilation valve to work properly, it is necessary to ensure high-quality operation of the hood. If too much cold air enters from the valve, then it is necessary to increase the heating of the room or close the valve completely.

If you cook a lot and often in the kitchen or dry wet clothes indoors after washing, then it is advisable to open the Air Box Comfort supply valve fully, since the humidity in the room increases and if there are cold windows, it will condense. When answering the question of where to buy an Air Box Comfort supply valve, we recommend contacting only specialized stores, as well as plastic window manufacturing companies. Next, we offer feedback on the operation of the valve in the apartment.

Konstantin, Saratov city

The problem of condensation appeared immediately after the installation of plastic windows, since there is a lot of vegetation in the house, and we dry clothes on radiators. After installing the valves it became much better, condensation still happens, but only in the corners of the glass. Previously, all the glass was wet and there was a puddle on the windowsill. The ventilation system in the house is lousy, but I solved the problem by installing electric fans on the air ducts.

Small recommendations

When purchasing a product, you must pay attention to the completeness of the set. In addition, the following conditions must be met:

In addition, the following conditions must be met:

• Clean the valve periodically with a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth.
• Do not close it completely in extreme cold to avoid freezing.

Some experts who have encountered such parts claim that their installation is impractical. You can get by by simply making slots in the plane of the frame. This opinion is purely personal, as the factory part has at least been tested for effectiveness and safety.

Operating principle of the Air-Box Comfort inlet valve

In places where standard seals are replaced with special ones, the air flow from the street enters the channel between the sash and the frame due to the difference in pressure inside and outside the room. While fresh air passes through this channel, it warms up, so that the ventilation valve does not become covered with frost during the cold season. Then, through a valve system installed at the top of the frame, street air enters the room.

The air flow is regulated automatically due to movable air dampers. As the wind increases, the dampers close, thereby reducing air flow into the premises, or close completely

Installation nuances

Installation of Air Box window valves can be done in two ways:

1. Without milling, by replacing the standard frame seal (Standart, Comfort).
2. With milling (Comfort, Comfort S).

The first option is faster and simpler, however, the performance (amount of incoming air) through the valves in this case will be lower than in the second case.

The second method is suitable for those who need to get the maximum possible amount of fresh air.

Installation without milling

To carry out the work you will need:

1. A stationery knife (if you don’t have one, any other knife will do, as long as it’s sharp).
2. Screwdriver.

Air Box Valve Installed

Stages of work:

1. We decide on the location of the valve on the sash.
2. We attach the valve to the sash and mark its length on the seal.
3. Cut off the marked section of the seal.
4. In the vacant space we insert the seal that comes with the valve (for the Standart model, install a piece 250 mm long).
5. Remove the protective film from the valve.
6. We install the product on the sash and fasten it with self-tapping screws (4 pieces for Standard and 3 for Comfort).
7. We close the window and mark the dimensions of the valve on the frame so that we know where to cut the seal from it.
8. Cut off the marked section of the seal from the frame.
9. We install the seal from the valve kit in the vacant space.

The cost of installation by a master is about 1000 rubles. The procedure takes no more than half an hour – even for those who have no experience and are doing it for the first time.

Installation with milling

For this method, in addition to the tools mentioned above, you will need:

1. Drill (drill diameter – 10 mm for Comfort and 12 – for Comfort S).
2. Jigsaw.

Sequence of steps for installing Comfort models with milling:

1. Selecting a location for installation.
2. On the flap we cut off a part of the seal 350 mm long (for accuracy, you should mark the cut points by placing the valve on the flap).
3. We install the seal from the kit in the vacant space.
4. We apply the valve to the sash, close it and mark the location on the frame.
5. On the overlay of the frame, we mill two slotted holes with a height of 12 mm and a length of 157 mm. The distance between the holes is 12 mm.
6. We install the valve on the flap with 3 self-tapping screws.

To install the Air Box Comfort S, the work is done differently:

1. Selecting a location for installation.
2. We mill or drill holes for air passage according to the diagram (choose any option).
3. We insert the support sleeve and fasten it with self-tapping screws.
4. Reinstall the valve by tightening the regulator.

The installation procedure with milling will cost about 1000-1500 rubles.

Reviews about the model

We will also mention reviews about this type of attachment from users.

Yulia F., 30 years old, Ekaterinburg:

When the windows were being replaced, the store saw a frame with some kind of plastic strip at the top. The consultant explained that this is an inflow. We decided to try this: our window is almost always open in the summer, but mosquitoes are annoying (there is a forest plantation right outside the window, in which there are a huge number of midges in the summer).

We began to choose the valve ourselves and settled on Air Box Comfort. The model is excellent - there is a regulator, and there is enough fresh air.

Ruslan G., 36 years old, Ivanovo:

I chose Air Box on the advice of a neighbor. At one time he was installing windows, and he also installed ventilation units. He says it’s a cool thing, much better than wall models, for which you need to make a hole in the wall.

Installed 2 years ago - really useful. It doesn’t provide much air - we ventilate it sometimes - but the windows have stopped “sweating”, and this is already a serious plus.

Model range and characteristics

In total, this series of supply valves contains three separate models, differing in performance, some parameters and, accordingly, cost. It is advisable to consult with specialists immediately before purchasing a valve.

Working principle of the Air Box valve

The fact is that such devices need to be selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the room being served. Of course, you can try to plan everything yourself, using information from the Internet, but this often leads to problems in the future.

Air Box Standard

Devices of the Standard series are distinguished by the fact that they have two valves located next to each other after installation. The series kit includes two sealing pieces and four self-tapping screws. This series is good because it is protected from condensation. In total, the series has three separate valves: KR, VA and TF.

Characteristics of the Standard series:

Air Box Comfort

This series differs from the previous one in greater productivity, and in general it is more popular among buyers. The advantage of this series is the possibility of installation either by replacing the seal or by milling.

Comfort series parameters:

Air Box Comfort S

Almost indistinguishable series in comparison with the usual Comfort, with the exception of the tongue regulator (it is slightly changed) and some characteristics. In general, it can act as a complete analogue (replacement) for the Comfort series.

Characteristics of the Comfort S series:

Need for use

Thanks to modern elastic and high-strength seals, a high density of the sashes of plastic windows is ensured. The required rate of air exchange inside a living space should be ensured by natural ventilation, provided for in the designs of modern multi-storey buildings.

For its full functioning, it is necessary to bring outside air into the living quarters, which is prevented by almost hermetically sealed plastic windows.

Violation of standard air exchange caused by the tightness of window structures made of polyvinyl chloride profiles leads to excess air humidity inside residential premises, and this, in turn, contributes to the formation of condensation, the appearance of mold and fungi spores, and the accumulation of an excessive number of harmful and toxic gases in the home atmosphere .

By resorting to ordinary ventilation of the living space, the apartment owner negates all the advantages of plastic window structures.

When installing a standard plastic window:

1. The sound insulation of the room is compromised.
2. Emerging drafts pose a health hazard.
3. Seals and locks are subject to accelerated wear.
4. Deterioration of thermal insulation characteristics leads to increased heating costs.
