Hi everyone, Can someone tell me if NACA type vents supplied with the M4 KF can be closed in any way? I do not see that they come with any type of door or flap to adjust or close them off when O/S air is not required. Winters get cold in Canada!

Thanks, Don

Hi, Don,



Most I have seen have  simply stuffed a sponge or something like that in the 

vent.  When I was at United Airlines and building, I noticed the Boeing 737 

had a door on their vents that fed air to the APU.  I liked that idea and 

put doors on mine.

I used vents with a knob that shut off the airway.  I believe they came from Spruce.

Bob replaced the ones on my KIV with ACS adjustable scoops PN 01-30500. 

They're a bear to use, but functional.

Don we ran flexible tube (scat?) from the NACA vents to airline type control 

vents on the instrument panel, one either side. The tube is easily 

disconnected when the cowl is removed.

I think the controllers (twist for air - twist for off) came from Aircraft 

Spruce.

I used Van's NACA vents.  They come with a plastic eyeball and lots of duct.  I did not use the duct.  I got an automotive heater hose that fit snugly around the round outlet of the vent and the inlet of the eyeball.  The heater hose appr 3 in long acts as a coupler between the vent and the eyeball.  I am very pleased in Central Georgia with the overall performance.  Rarely the passenger side pops off since  I am too lazy to wrap some tape and snug the fit.

I routed the air to an aircraft vent(1 on each side) from a 767 cabin

overhead units that has a shutoff . just spin the nozel and the air stoped.

it fit the standard scat tubing and looks good on the pannel.  it is also

directional.  I think you can order them from some of the catalogs.  If you

would like pictures let me know.  It works great and is almost to easy to

install
