Hehe, no I assure you that on the Swedish and for that matter the
Danish Ikea website it makes rather little sense either.
However I asked a friend of mine back in Copenhagen about this about
10 minutes ago, he fits quite a few kitchens from Ikea and confirms
that the "valve" in question is one of those flappy things where air
will go out when there is pressure on the inside but will shut when
the wind blows on the outside. "TUB 120" is simply a piece of 120mm
flexible aluminium duct.
It occurred to me also that the very same device is far cheaper in
Denmark, which is a bit odd, its almost half the price.



That's because Danes are better negotiators and Swedes are used to
paying high prices as a result of normally having to buy their booze in
Systembolaget. Compared with that, anything is cheap, except, perhaps
for a Norwegian having to buy it in Vinmonopolet or a Finn in Alko.

Reminds me of the story of two Finns in a bar.

One orders a round of drinks, raises his glass and says "Kippis"

Is that "bottoms up" then (as in German "to tip")

The other says "Are we going to talk or are we going to drink?"

I'm holding back the belly laugh until I find out
