The installation of our LWZ 180 will be completed shortly. Two flexible pipes were routed from the utility room to the attic. From there, the supply air duct is to be routed out of the roof box and the exhaust air duct out of the roof (via a metal sleeve that is to be integrated into the roof and then receive the photographed cover).
According to the ventilation installer, the cover with the perforated grille will be installed transverse to the slope (so the grille faces up toward the ridge and down toward the eaves). I am concerned that rainwater might flow through the grille into the exhaust shaft inside the cover.
How should the penetration of the building envelope be executed? Are there standard solutions for this? Is fresh air intake through an outlet in the roof box acceptable?
