It’s round-up time! This month we’re bringing you more news from some of our leading manufacturers so that we can keep you up to date with what’s happening in the ventilation and heating world…
Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood
Kitchens have always required effective ventilation in order to ensure a clean, safe environment. Vent-Axia have released an exceptional above-hob solution. The Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood carries that same legendary Vent-Axia quality that has earned them such a prestigious reputation, and has been designed for installation in a 60mm aperture above a hob.
The hood boasts a telescopic design with two flat removable metal grease filters which make maintenance and cleaning quick and simple. A galvanised steel duct enables connection to a heat recovery unit, and the duct also features easy access for further cleaning. Plus, low energy light bulbs provide good visibility to the hob below whilst maintaining an energy efficient design.
When it comes to operating the Sentinel Kinetic, this efficient and effective cooker hood makes things simple. Simply opening the hood boosts the speed, whilst a summer bypass automatically opens to prevent any unwanted contaminants (such as cooking by-products) from making their way into a ventilation system’s heat recovery cell.
The hood is also built with safety in mind. An integral fire damper (in accordance with BRE Digest 398) ensures safe operation with minimal hood-related fire hazards, whilst a thermal cut-out fuse is able to automatically switch off the MVHR unit if excessive temperatures are detected in the airway.
Vent-Axia provide a variety of different models to suit a range of needs and applications. SELV models of the Sentinel Kinetic enable the hood to be installed and used with a reduced distance above an electric hob (reduced from 650mm down to 550mm). Models are also available with an integral humidity sensor that can increase the speed of the unit in relation to the detected humidity levels. This helps to save energy and reduce noise. The sensor is capable of detecting even the smallest rapid humidity changes and triggering a reaction, even if the standard trigger threshold isn’t reached. All in all, this ensures exceptional ventilation in even the smallest of wet rooms.
Whichever model is chosen, Vent-Axia’s Sentinel Kinetic range is easy to install with the ability to attach ducting to the hood horizontally, vertically, or both. It can be fitted inside a kitchen cupboard (with a minimum internal depth of 300mm), and horizontal and vertical spigots enable the hood to be installed in tight, confined locations. Additional spigots are available for when vertical and horizontal connections are needed on the same outlet/inlet.

Touch-Free HydroBoil and EconoBoil Range Adaptors
With the worldwide situation at hand, refraining from touching as many surfaces as possible has become a daily consideration for every single individual on the planet. It’s also a consideration that has always been (and will always be) important in areas where hygiene is a concern. When it comes to boiling water dispensers, Zip has the answer…
Designed for their popular HydroBoil and EconoBoil ranges, Zip’s new touch-free adaptors enable people to dispense boiling water without having to have any physical contact with the tap. These adaptors are crafted from 304 stainless steel for durability and reliability, and they provide a quick, intuitive, low-cost solution for hands-free water dispensing.
One of the biggest benefits of these adaptors is the prevention of cross-contamination through touch. This helps to dramatically reduce the chance of spreading a variety of contaminants in hygiene-conscious environments, which is especially important even without the current pandemic.
Please note: The adaptors aren’t currently compatible with HydroBoil Plus models.
