  • Closable Vent Upgrade

    In our Imagine 2400BH, when the AC is running and the bathroom door is shut - even with the vents on the AC unit open the bathroom can get quite cool. A little colder than my wife cares for.

    The answer? A new Vent that has the ability to close.

    Here is what they look like originally.

    To remove, it is not that difficult, but it can be a challenge to get them started. They are simply compressed into the slot and once in it grabs the mounting plastic around the hole so they do not come out accidentally or too easily. With a little prying and compression it will pop right out giving you the following picture.

    The new vent cover installed. From the picture you can see that it still can rotate as well as close off or change the direction of the airflow.

    Here is a picture of it closed.

    For the $20-30 cost, if you need additional control of some air flow I would recommend the upgrade. I haven't yet seen the full benefit of it, but believe it is going to accomplish my wife's goals.

      Okay, my wife just came up stairs with a twitch in her left eye and asked if I was shopping on Amazon again. You guys are killing me!

      Our 2400BH, also, has a chilly loo when the A/C is on... I didn't realise how much it bothered me until I saw the remedy. Thanks for posting.

        NoPeeking as long as she does not sneak up on you with the bull tamer in an attempt to stop you, all is good. Just tell her it's to help control the temperature where she sits.

            That's just funny. Glad I could help.

            In our case, if it has to do with camping....the wife doesn't mind much spending....most of the time.

            My tip for sneaking amazon purchases by the wife? Get the Amazon Visa Rewards card and then use points and gift cards people give you. I usually do that for tools though /smile

              I was initially looking at these, but not familiar with the installation and the process. I ran into these on Etsy. I needed 2 and was able to get a set for $20. Installation was simple they just snapped in, which makes them easy to remove for cleaning.

                I ordered closable vent registers for two of my furnace outlets. It gets much too hot in my 2600RB bedroom, and the vent outlet under the flip up counter blows right onto the thermostat sensor. I now have both of them closed when I run the furnace.
