eleVENT™ Heater Port System
Dedicated 75mm Window Pass-Through for Diesel Heater Setups
The eleVENT™ Heater Port System is a vehicle-specific front window insert designed specifically for diesel heater use.
Built around a sealed window plate and a dedicated 75mm (3") pass-through port, this system provides a clean, reliable way to route heated air into your vehicle — without modifying your vehicle or relying on heat-sensitive components.
Installation is simple and fully reversible: roll the front window down, place the window plate into the opening, then raise the window to secure the assembly in place.
Estimated lead time: Approximately 2 weeks
Purpose-Built for Heat
Diesel heaters produce sustained high-temperature airflow that requires a dedicated solution.
Unlike modular vent systems, the eleVENT™ Heater Port System uses a sealed plate with a direct pass-through port, eliminating unnecessary openings and reducing heat loss.

How It Works
