The DraftStoppa Adapter plate is a flat disc that is readily placed in a variety of configurations. It is 350mm in diameter and around 4mm thick.

Easy but you need to be able to get into, and be comfortable moving around in your attic space

Get the full benefit from your 3 in 1 heat/light/fan Exhaust Fan

What you will need:

• An electrician – organise with your electrician to re-wire the appliance so that the fan will automatically start when the heat lamps are turned on. This is an imperative step. It will avoid the DraftStoppa and plate melting. 
• A ladder – tall enough for you to enter your attic space through the ceiling access point
• You will need sufficient crawl space in your ceiling
• Headlamp torch
• Gloves – optional

Our Technical Director, Maurice, shows you exactly how to install the Draft/Stoppa Mounting Plate in this video.

Q: I still burn gas in my home.  Is this product safe to use? 
A: We strongly recommend that you replace your gas appliances with all electric options.  It will reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and the emission of water vapour.   Do not install this product - you need all the ventilation you can get.

Q: Why do I need to use the DraftStoppa Mounting Plate?
A: The design and shape of a typical 3 in 1 Heat lamp will prevent a DraftStoppa Exhaust Fan Cover from sealing correctly. The Adapter Plate provides a surface the DraftStoppa can seal down to on an otherwise obstructing Exhaust Fan.

Q: Do I need to get an electrician to rewire my 3-in-1 heat lamp unit in order to fit my DraftStoppa with a Mounting Plate over it?
A: Yes. It is essential to rewire the electrical switch so that the fan is on any time the heat lamps are used. This is necessary to prevent melting the DraftStoppa. 

Q: Are there any things to watch out for?
A: Occasionally there are obstructions that cause difficulty with fitting. The most common ones are:

• The ceiling joists are too close together to accommodate the DraftStoppa as it is slightly wider than the exhaust fan.
• There is a pipe above the exhaust fan.
• The power outlet supplying the fan has been fitted too close to the fan.

Q: What if my exhaust fan is on the ground floor of a two-storey home?
A: If your exhaust fan is not a 3 in 1, and there is sufficient space to install a Draftstoppa (which is usually the case), then this is achievable. However, 3 in 1 exhaust fans are normally too tall to allow for the fitting of a DraftStoppa and adapter plate.

Q: Will I still be able to use my fan?
A: This product should not prevent your fan from its natural function. If it does, then it may have inadvertently pushed into the side of the fan blades. Repositioning the DraftStoppa should clear the problem.

Q: Can I collect my order?
A: Yes you can!  A “Ready for Pickup” email will be sent to you when you order is ready to be collected.  Please click this link for the Click and Collect details.  Note:  this Collection Centre is in Preston in Victoria, NOT Prestons in NSW.

Q: What is the product warranty for DraftStoppa?
A: DraftStoppa carries a product warranty of 5 years, as long as the product has been installed according to instructions.  

Q: What is the installation warranty for DraftStoppa?
A: As the DraftStoppa is a DIY product there is no warranty on installation.  

We have known 'failures' of the DraftStoppa unit when:  

• It was left sitting in the sun prior to installation. Whilst the DraftStoppa is heat resistant, is does not like UV which will cause the butterfly wings to warp. 
• It was installed over a 3 in 1 heat / lamp / fan unit and the switch was not rewired according to the manufacturers instructions. 
• The lugs that the butterfly wings are attached to have been snapped off due to excess pressure / impatient installation. 

To get the best value for your investment, please, PLEASE watch the installation videos before you proceed.
