Can Polypropylene Trailer Vent Be Adjusted to Fit Thick Trailer Walls

Question:

I have a cargomate enclosed trailer and it is insulated with the board type insulation. This im sure makes the wall thicker than the standard thickness. What is the best way to mount it, ensuring water-proofing ect? Do you sell spacers?

The 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 that you referenced will work on a trailer wall up to 2 inches thick. There is no spacer designed to fit with the vent. You can use a sealant like part # 0160297, to help seal the trailer from the elements.

The Loctite urethane sealant is applied as a thick liquid to parts before assembly or in seams after assembly to create a waterproof bond in a variety of applications. It can seal doors, windows, vents and other areas in enclosed trailers where water could enter.

The trailer vent does not include the mounting screws. We sell the Wood Screws, part # 30587, if you are installing to wood or a similar material.
