How to use

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Trace the Cutout Template

Position the exhaust vent on the exterior wall of the container. Line it up as high and as close to the roof as possible.
Center the unit so that the side mounting edges align properly with the flat ribs (corrugations) of the container wall.
Use a marker to draw a stencil/cut line around the perimeter of the vent body.
Pro-Tip: The top and sides of this cut are straight, but tracing carefully around the overlapping profile of the container's metal ribs ensures a snug fit. It is better to cut slightly small, as you can grind it out later for a tighter fit.

Step 2: Cut out the Vent Opening

SAFETY FIRST: Put on proper eye protection and heavy-duty work gloves before cutting into the steel.
Use an angle grinder equipped with a metal cutting disc (cut-off wheel) to carefully cut along your traced template lines.
Switch to a grinding disc to clean up any rough edges or burrs, and test-fit the vent until it slides into the cutout opening tightly.

Step 3: Mount and Secure the Vent

Push the exhaust vent fully into the cutout opening so it sits flush against the container wall.
Align the mounting holes with the flat sections of the container's corrugation.
Using a power drill and heavy-duty self-tapping screws, drill directly through the vent frame and the container steel to lock the unit firmly in place. Tighten the screws until they are completely snug.

Step 4: Waterproof and Seal

Step inside the container and inspect the installation layout. Check for any visible sunlight poking through the seams around the vent housing.
CRITICAL STEP: To ensure the installation is entirely waterproof, apply a generous layer of standard exterior-grade silicone sealant or caulk around the exterior and interior seams of the vent to prevent rain or moisture from leaking in.

Step 5: Connect Power Source

Select your preferred power method. You can plug the exhaust vent directly into an electrical cord, connect it to the included solar panel, or connect both simultaneously.
System Tip: If you connect both, the integrated motor is smart enough to automatically select and draw from whichever power source is currently delivering the most energy.

What Our Customers Say

Lisa S.
Well worth the effort it takes to install these, no more rain IN the container from moisture!
Kirk C.
Installed both of these down low towards the back of the 40′ container. With the doors open, I can absolutely tell a huge difference in ventilation. Soon I will install a rooftop solar fan and not need to open the doors. The construction of these vents is top notch and with a little caulk to seal everything up, they should be good for a very long time. If you are going to use the pop rivets, which is recommended, get yourself a pop rivet tool that chucks in a drill. I have a high quality handheld tool, good grip strength, and it was very difficult. So get a good pop rivet tool.
Joe W.
These vents are very well made and easy to install using the supplied template.
Awana K.
Fast shipping, well package, clear instructions. You can also look at video website/YouTube.
Leo A.
I used these before and they are great. This is the second time buying some

Put 4 vents in cone. Building to try and get some air flow!! Sure is hot in this Texas heat!!
Andrew M.
If you're looking to protect equipment in a container shed, this is the vent to get.
David P.
Great product, perfect for my Conex container, this is a must have for condensation inside the container.
Tanner D.
Worth the money. Helps take the intense heat out of my conex box, very pleased
Daniel M.
Awesome well built easy to install vents for shipping containers. Massive improvement in air flow.
Don B.
I seen other C cans that where sweating inside, so far they seem to keep the ventilation up very well. Watch Youtube for information on the install, it made it very easy.
Frank B.
Fast delivery, easy to follow installation guide lines, great ventilation for my container…Thanks
Garrett R.
This is the second set of these vents I have installed in my 20′ sea crates. In the three years I have used the first crate, the temperature inside has never been a problem. This spring I got a second sea crate and immediately noticed that it was way warmer inside that my first one. I ordered the same vents and installed them today, a sunny warm day. Immediate difference inside. The temperature moderated fairly quickly. These are pretty expensive but are worth it. They are shipped quickly, are well packaged and have very good installation instructions.
Mike K.
I had high expectations for the product based on price. I was not disappointed. The plastic inside and aluminum outside cover makes them very sturdy. They fit perfectly between the corrugated metal leaving enough room for the flange. I purchased 2 packages (4) and each package had an extra pop rivet. I used one full tube of silicone sealant for all 4 vents. I put a bead on both sides of the container over the holes I drilled and then the top and bottom of the vent. They should offer a tub of sealant for each package. That would make the kit 100 % ready to install.
Sloan W.
It wasn’t too hard to install and works well for venting my air conditioner. It’s strong and attractive.
Jeff G.
I bought the 45s with the screen and they installed perfectly. I took their advice and used the provided rivets. This side install was much better than cutting into the roof and risking roof leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a powered wall vent do that a passive vent does not?

A powered wall vent actively moves air through your container using a fan, rather than relying on natural airflow like a passive louvered vent. That active movement is much more effective at cutting condensation and heat in a sealed steel container, because it forces stale, humid air out instead of waiting for the weather to move it. For containers that trap heat and moisture, an active vent makes a noticeable difference.

Is the wall vent hard to install?

No, it is designed to be DIY-friendly. It mounts to the container wall and is built for a straightforward installation without specialized skills.

Is it durable enough for outdoor use?

Yes. The vent is built to be durable and weatherproof, which it needs to be since it mounts on the container's exterior wall and is exposed to rain, sun, and temperature swings. It is made to keep moving air reliably while standing up to the elements over time.

Can I pair this with other vents?

Yes, and it is a smart way to ventilate. Using this powered wall vent as the active exhaust alongside passive intake vents creates cross-flow airflow, fresh air drawn in low while the powered vent pushes hot, humid air out, which ventilates a container far more effectively than any single vent on its own.
