V ". si^`Y 3 g fi r Rapidly rising floodwater can put extreme pressure on the foundation walls causing imp roperlyvented structuiestoibuckle and collapse. SMAR, VENTS® quickly and efficiently equalize the'pressure and minimize damage. ' www.smartvent.com • 877 How it works: Flood Protection: The.FL00D VENT door is latched closed until floodwater enters.. Entering floodwater lifts the patented internal floats which unlatches and rotates the door open. This allows the flood water to automatically enter and:exitthrough the frame opening, relieving the pressure from yourfoundation. Use Fewer Vents Preserve the aesthetic beauty of a home by requiring 24fewer vents. Each SMART VENT° protects 200 sq/ft of enclosed area vs. 60 sq%ft for non -compliant vents. How does one of your vents provide so much. coverage? You may have heard that FEMA requires thatflood openings provide one square inch of opening per one square foot.of enclosed area, referring to dimensions of the opening in -proportion to the space to be vented. This_is only partially. correct. FEMAs regulations and guidelines do state that a non -engineered flood vent solution must (among other requirements) provide one square inch of opening per square foot of enclosed area to be vented. However; all SMART VENT® products are ICC-ES certified engineered openings. They have. been designed,.engineered, tested, rated, and certified to provide flood relief so. efficiently that only one unit is needed for 200 square feet of enclosed area. It would be our.pleasureto contact your code official; surveyor, or insurance agent if they require more information. -441-8368 1' Choose the correct model: Along with the options for size, We also offer two. model choices. The first is a dual function- model that will.give you automatic flood protection along with . automatic ventilation. This model only comes in 16" x . 8" size., The second is our Insulated 'model that seals outth.e cool or warm air, but opens as flood water rises. This model comes in both'siies. Retrofitting Easy installation (all hardware is included) makes this model ideal to -retrofit into an existing garage door. A'stainless steel -frame cleanly installs into the -door with -only four (supplied) stainless steel.scr_ ews and-; nuts. How it works:. Flood Protection: The SMART VENT® dooris°latched closed until flood water.enters: Entering flood water lifts the patented internal floats which unlatches and . rotates the door open. This allows the flood water. . to. automatically.enter.and exitthrough the frame opening; relieving the pressure.from your foundation walls. Ventilation: A bimetal coil,(like a thermostat; no electricity is:needed) automatically opens and: closes the ventilation louvers as temperature changes: They will be closed when it.is freezing outside and open when it is warm outside.to provide natural ventilation.
