Custom Noggle Adapter

What's Included

  • 1 Noggle Adapter
  • 2 Gaskets (small and large)
  • 1 Zip-Tie Guide
  • 3 Zip-Ties

About the Gaskets

The flexible gaskets come in 2 sizes, small and large, and are meant to help ensure a solid fit between the adapter and your vent.

Using the Zip-Tie Guide

The zip-tie guide makes installation easier by guiding the zip-tie around your vent. One zip-tie will come pre-bent for use with the guide.

  1. Bend the zip-tie — Bend the zip-tie so that it fits into the guide. Ensure the smooth part of the zip-tie is against the guide, and the ridges are exposed.
  2. Insert the guide — Slide the zip-tie guide into your vent
  3. Hook the zip-tie — Hook the zip-tie around the vent you want to anchor to
  4. Remove the guide — Slide the zip-tie off of the guide, and you're good to go!

DIY Air Vent Hose Kit

What's Included

  • 1 Custom Vent Adapter
  • 1 Hose to Vent Connection Adapter
  • 1 Hose End Cap
  • 1 Gasket
  • 1 Zip-Tie Guide
  • 3 Zip-Ties

Threading the Hose Adapters

The Hose to Vent Connection Adapter threads onto your 3" hose so that you can use the Custom Vent Adapter. The Hose End Cap threads onto the opposite end to protect debris from entering the hose.

Important: The hose is reverse threaded — twist counter-clockwise to tighten. You may need to extend the hose a little bit where you're threading the pieces on so that it works properly.

Tip: The 3" hose has a rubbery membrane that can make threading tricky. Take your time and make sure the hose is extended at the point of connection.

About the Gasket

The flexible gasket helps account for any measurement inaccuracies between the adapter and your vent. If you find that you don't need it, you don't have to use it!
