- Installing a new roof vent whirlybird to a corrugated tin metal roof. This is a simple video showing how to install so you can do it yourself correctly.
Work done by 24:3 Building W.A. 0415119313.
And you did it all one handed - bloody legend!👍
Thanks So much for taking the time to show us how to do it right!
Wow, amazing. Thanks heaps. No bullshit and you show us stuff I would have never have thought of doing. Cheers.
Your attention to detail is remarkable 😁
😂😂 I thought he was rough as, not much pride in his work
One hand tied behind your back too!
Cheers! From Arizona USA
I have to do this to my shed in the next few weeks. I just know I'm gonna cut my hands when I make the holes.
Pretty good video, thanks.
Wear gloves. It ll help
How did you go? So easy to cut yourself. For those who don't know there are right hand and left hand snips for cutting to the left or right. Also some snips have a kind of toothed edge. This makes it grip the material a little so it doesn't slip and you don't have to push so hard.
thanks for the video. perfect since we have the same roofs here in the Philippines.
20mm Vortex 12-14g metal screws with seals make job much smoother and quicker even for the top
Exactly what I’ve been looking, thanks
Cool!! I’m going to put this thing on my roof so you can go and watch on video later if i had installed this😀
Thaks sir for another knowledge .
Very helpful godbless
Thanks mate that was very helpful
Great and very informative. Well done.
Pretty impressive to film and put this in mostly one handed:-)
This is by far the best and most simple way to install wind turbine vents on a metal roof! Only thing you left out how you had to also cut the wood below the tin.
You dont have to cut the wood below.
@@dennisperrie Then how will it pull heat and moisture out of the attic?
@@llg7456 our houses over here are built differently. we do not line the roof with wood ply. If you do then you would have to cut the hole through the wood
Thank you.
thank you
Thanks Dennis - great video.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You made the installation looked easy. I can do it too by myself i think. How is its performance then?
It performs perfectly. for the stats you will have to look at the spec from the supplier.
@@dennisperrie Thanks
Installed 2 👌
Cheers bro
I like the item/product, my question is.... If it rains with wind, the rain water will get thru and it will water the inside house, ?????
The spinning top keeps the rain out
You bloody savage
What if there is not much wind. Does this help in expelling hot air inside the house
Yes but it is more effective with a little wind as the fan works. Hot air will rise up and through the vent even if there is no wind.
khit n may kisame bhay pwede mgplagay ng whirl roof?
Hi. the plastic supports inside the turbine itself. how long will it last? before it goes brittle?
I am not sure. I have not seen them break.
cheers boss
Is it necessary to install ceiling vents along with this for the hot air to be extracted from our rooms? This is our first time installing it on our roof.
no this is designed to ventilate the space between the ceiling and the roof. So the roof cavity.
It's Good but you don't mention the situation if it rains with wind. How about the rain water going thru the sphere ventilator
It doesn't go through. The spinning motion keeps the water out
Cheers bro.
great clip, are you installing solar vents these days ? seem to becoming more popular.
Have not done one for a while.
Thanks for this. I have a single pitch roof ... so no apex flashing for the base plate to fit under ... if you have experience of this I would appreciate suggestions?
You will simply have to silicone the back of the flue so water runs over the top.
@@dennisperrie thanks. I ended up cutting the roof the width of the base plate then "posted" the base plate through the cut. Sealed it with fibre matting. Looks OK but will know after the first rains. Many thanks.
does the rain goes inside like when its raining heavily
no
There is no mention of Metal silicone.... Why?
Because by putting it under the ridge you don't need to use silicone. if it was further down the roof you would have to. i have another video on how to install a whirlybird that has the use of silicone.
Very nice. How does the turbine (whirlybird) itself not leak?
Cenyrifical force and the design means they dont leak. As the wind blows the turbine the internal fan extracts the air from the roof. In heat the air is expelled by covection so keep it high on your roof.
Do you also know how to install Vlux skylights into a colorbond roof?
I havent delt with those so sorry i don't have footage.
Great job, and with one hand. Did you use any silicone?
Because they are under the ridge they didnt need silicone.
@@dennisperrie couldn’t water come in from the side in high wind and rain situations? Is it practice to silicone from the outside or inside
@@byrny111 If you look where the hole is placed you have two corrugations before the water get near it. also, the sides are tapped down reducing the wind ingress. If it really bothers you, you can put silicone on top of the corrugation before you put the flange on but i have never had a problem with any leaking from the side.
@@dennisperrie cheers whats a flange?
@@byrny111 it's the bottom or base that goes over the hole. my hands are on it in the thumbnail.
What brand/model tin snips do you recommend Dennis?
Use wiss snips or stanley. But any will do. Reds to cut with th right hand. Green to cut with the left hand.
Hi i bought 2 whirlybird but doesnt com with adjustable level adjuster.. how do i install this on a 30deg slop roof
Some times they come in two pieces instead of three but all should have an adjustable piece for the pitch. if not maybe check with the manufacturer how to get the pitch
@@dennisperrie that's the problem.. the seller manufacturer confirmed that the one i bought isnt adjustable.. they suggested to trim the base according to my roof slope. I was hoping to install a circular plainsheet but i do not.know how to cut in straight 😅
@@thegreenthing7603 I wish I could help but without seeing the product I am guessing what to do. Option 2 is return it and get a different whirlybird.
tool kit for whirly bird installer .1 claw hammer some tin snips and a Philips head screw driver ...
And a drill
Is this whirlybird 100% waterproof? Is water come from the vents ? What your experience say ?
Yes they are water proof. I have yet to be called back to one for a leak. On a storm they spin faster aswell increasing the difficulty for water to get in. So yes would be my answer
Could rain water come in through the holes in the vent
It doesn't. I have never had a problem.
So what about winter? Can you stop them drawing in cold air?
They sell bag type covers for them
@@mayken6661 ---I have seen them covered on houses in the US in winter, but one still needs to vent any attic condensation, no matter the time of year. (I had a plywood roof delaminate because of inadequate venting).
Where did you get the turbine with a true square base?
Hardware store or my supplier Ampelite have them.
@@dennisperrie Australia, in the U.S. they are octagon
@@SimsRacing we have no octagon ones but we also dont use shingles in Australia.
Does this make the shop colder during winter?
If it is in a factory unit, it will expell the hot air. If there is a ceiling that has insulation on it and the air is removed from between the ceiling and the roof then no it will not. So if your shop has no ceiling, yes it will.
I would use a Saber-saw to cut the hole in the metal. It would be easier, safer, faster, and more precise.
You wouldn't want any metal shavings from a saw or grinder on the roof, it causes rust
@@timothyjohnson3176 So does cutting a hole through the Galveniized roof.
@@Dave-co1cv Not to the whole sheet below the cut and in the gutters though, I'm just saying that as a fully qualified carpenter - if I hear apprentices or labourers using a grinder or sabresaw on a new roof, they get a stern warning.
But, you do whatever you want to your roof when installing. Just looking out for you if you maybe hadn't experienced it before.
@@timothyjohnson3176 So why not simply blow the shavings away once the cut is complete? This should be done regardless of a potential rust issue. If you want a good, clean, accurate cut a metal roof....use a Saber saw.
@@Dave-co1cv Blow the metal shavings where, into the gutter? To another part of the roof? When you use a saw or grinder, the swarf heats up enough to stick itself to the colourbond coating, and even if it isn't coated you can't see all of the miniscule pieces of metal you've left.
Simple and quick isnt always the best solution.
Also why would you use a recipro saw when there's the potential for say cutting into live wires in the roof.
You keep fighting this good fight, I'm going to just take the win knowing I'd get more repeat clients.
What brand is this?
I am not sure the owner supplied it and I cannot remember.
Jeez you went to town on that tin roof why not just drill a hole to start the cut? Then you left the tin exposed to rust after hammering the hell out of it.
Using the hammer removes any need to clear off the swarf. The bit i hit with the hammer was cut out with the snips which is how it should be done. You can also start your hole with drilling aswell if you are not confident with a hammer.
@@dennisperrie ---I thought of pounding on a short length of pipe to form the flashing to match the corrugation of the roof. What about a bead silicon caulk under the flashing, and on the exposed screw heads?
@@elultimo102 not needed.
@@elultimo102 'Not needed'..... when its not my house 😂😂
Dark roof is hot areas, is Stupid
Can not hear you talk when you are hammering!
Sorry about that.
Rough as bloody guts
Yet perfect in every way
possibly roughest install on youtube....
If raining water cannot come in?
yes it keeps out the rain
