on nonfire-resistance-rated foundation walls, rolling -type
overhead, doors and building walls subject to rising or
falling flood waters. The Smart Vent units are intended for
use where flood hazard areas have been established in
accordance with IBC Section 1612:3 or IRC Section
R3222.1 Certain models also allow natural ventilation in

Pressure. from one side of the foundation to the other. The
AFFV pivoting door is normally held in the closed position
by a buoyant release device. When subjected to rising
water, the buoyant release device causes the unit to
unlatch, allowing the plate to .rotate out of the way and
allow flow. The water level stabilizes, equalizing the lateral
forces. Each unit is fabricate_ d from stainless steel. The
SmartVENTTM Stacking Model #1540-511 and
FloodVENTTM Stacking Model #1540-521 units each
contain two vertically arranged openings per unit.
3.2 Engineered Opening:
The AFFVs comply with the design principle noted in
Section 2.6.2.2 of ASCE/SEI 24 for a maximum rate of rise
and fall of .5.0 feet per hour (0.423 mmis). In order to
comply with the engineered opening requirement of
ASCE/SEI. 24, Smart Vent AFFVs must be installed in
accordance with Section 4.0.
