Tunnel element SureFlap TUN001

The SureFlap TUN001 tunnel element is a plastic extension designed to work with compatible SureFlap pet door systems, providing a controlled passage for dogs and cats to move through exterior walls or doors. With overall dimensions of 200 mm width, 60 mm depth and 260 mm height, the white tunnel creates a tidy, finished opening that helps protect pet flaps from drafts and external weather while maintaining a neat appearance on both sides of the entry point.

Advantages

The tunnel element is made from durable plastic that resists outdoor exposure and is easy to clean, helping maintain hygiene around the pet door. Its compact depth reduces the amount of building work required for installation in thinner doors or walls while the standardized width and height match common SureFlap flap sizes, ensuring a snug fit and reliable operation. The white finish offers discreet integration with a wide range of interior and exterior décors.

How to use

Measure the existing pet door cut-out or the planned installation location to confirm compatibility with the tunnel element's dimensions. Fit the tunnel between the interior and exterior faces of the door or wall so that the pet flap aligns centrally with the tunnel opening. Secure the tunnel using appropriate screws or bonding materials following the instructions supplied with the SureFlap pet door system; ensure all joints are sealed to prevent drafts. After installation, check that the flap operates smoothly through the tunnel and that the passage is unobstructed.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the tunnel element with the matching SureFlap pet door model and follow manufacturer installation guidance. Wipe the plastic surface periodically with a damp cloth and mild detergent to keep the opening clean. When installing in external walls, ensure correct sealing against moisture and consult a professional if cutting into structural elements.
