2. Specifications and Description The Hired Hand Chimney Vent is a natural ventilation accessory for mounting in the ceiling of animal confinement buildings or similar facilities. Air flow is adjustable by means of a movable baffle. The fully open position allows the entire vent area (see below) to provide vertical air flow from the inside to the outside of the building. An extension kit is available to provide an additional 4 foot of chamber length.

Use (2) ¼ x 1 inch bolts, (2) ¼ inch washers and (2) ¼ inch lock nuts in each bracket. The Canopy Support Brackets also provide stability to the Chamber, so after they are installed, verify that the Baffle still rotates freely (if a Baffle was installed as in Section 5.2).

8. Actuator Cabling The following shows one example of a method to open and close the Chimney Vent Baffle and Door. The Linear actuator is connected to a rod running the length of the structure. The rod is connected to a spring which is in turn fastened to the end wall. When the linear actuator operates, the rod is pulled to the left in the example below hence opening the baffles. When the actuator reverses, the spring force closes the baffles.
