    The Univent allows solar powered control of top and side mounted window vents thanks to its dual springs. Univent window openers have an adjustable opening temperature of 60° F to 75° F and an 18" maximum opening which would be reached at approximately 20° to 30°F above opening temperature. Univent openers are made from corrosion resistant materials including aluminum and stainless steel. Univents also feature a unique quick disconnect feature on the bottom of the unit which is useful when using the opener with a cold frame. This model is recommended for use with Grow More, Solar Harvest, & most other greenhouse vents. Order more than one and save!

    Univent Assembly & Operation Video

    How does a Greenhouse Autovent work?
    A strong metal tube contains a mineral wax which expands with heat. This pushes a piston which opens the auto vent via a balanced linkage. As the temperature drops, the wax shrinks and a strong spring closes the vent and resets the piston.

    Do your homework

    This lever is of great quality. If it is designed for your vent then buy it. Sadly, I had to return mine. I was looking for a strong spring action lever for my Yardestry greenhouse. One I could also easily detach when not using. Yardestry has a unique lever system that is not offered in a stronger and similar design that I wished this would offer.
    My only concern is that sales and service have a list of greenhouse types where this works and does not. When researching and speaking, they were not sure. This cost me in freight and time.
    They have a good team that has good intentions; yet, they could be even better if they know what they don’t work with. That is also my problem.

    Arrived, ready to instal

    Second unit for an additional cold frame, since the first one performed as expected, might as well stick to something I know works, Thank you.

    Univent automatic vent opener

    Have used these 2 years. Completely satisfied. Intended for roof vents, but I install them horizontally to open doors on my hoop house. One got damaged accidentally by a neighbor so I replaced it. ACF Greenhouses gave quick service. Thank you.

    Great product!

    We attached a Univent to a new cold frame and it is working perfectly. Thank you for a great product and fast delivery!

    Univents

    I have used the uninvent for opening the ceiling vents on my green house for about 5 years I think. First order was through ACF Greenhouses. The vent is made in Denmark and is a high quality vent. Unfortunately the T-clutch broke on one vent so I ordered two more vents from ACF to have spares. Fast delivery. I do wish ACF would carry more parts for the vents. All I needed was the T-clutch which I ordered from the Company in Denmark to repair the one that broke. Actually that was all I needed. Still I do have the two new spares if I have an emergency repair to make.

    These units work well - though some parts wear out after 9 years. They're worth replacing when needed!

    Works well

    Works as described, easy to install

    Replacement part for FREE!

    Got unit, tested it; tube didn't seem to work. Called company; they sent me a replacement tube (for FREE) immediately!
    They will definitely get more business from me.

    I installed this on an Aluminum Framed 6' x 6' greenhouse in SW Ohio.
    Installation instructions were easy to follow.
    Functions as stated. Vent opens on sunny 25 degree days with out a problem.
    Closes tight at night.
    I will be making a new lower greenhouse mounting plate out of CRS to minimize flex (personal preference)
