Properties evaluated: ■ Physical operation ■ Water flow 2.0 USES The Smart Vent® units are engineered mechanically operated flood vents (FVs) employed to equalize hydrostatic pressure on walls of enclosures subject to rising or falling flood waters. Certain models , also allow natural ventilation. 3.0 DESCRIPTION 3.1 General: When subjected to rising water, the Smart Vent® FVs internal floats are activated, then pivot open to allow flow in either direction to equalize water level and hydrostatic pressure from one side of the foundation to the other. The FV 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, 3.2 Engineered Opening: The FVs comply with the design principle noted in Section 2.7.2.2 and Section 2.7.3 of ASCE/SEI 24-14 [Section 2.6.2.2 of ASCE/SEI 24-05 (2012, 2009, 2006 IBC and IRC)] for a maximum rate of rise and fall of 5.0 feet per hour (0.423 mm/s). In order to comply with. the engineered opening requirement of ASCE/SEI 24, Smart Vent FVs must be installed in accordance with Section 4.0. 3.3 Ventilation: The SmadVENT' Model #1540-510 and SmartVENTO Overhead Door Model #1540-514 both have screen covers with 1/4-inch-by-1/4-inch (6.35 by 6.35 mm) openings, yielding 51 square inches (32 903 mm) of net free area to supply natural ventilation. The SmartVENT® Stacking Model #1540-511 consists of two Model #1540-510 units in one assembly, and provides 102 square inches (65 806 mm) of net free area to supply natural ventilation.

Installation of the vents must be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, the applicable code and this report Installation clips allow mounting in masonry and concrete walls of any thickness. In order to comply with the engineered opening design principle noted in Section 2.7.2.2 and 2.7.3 of ASCE/SEI 24-14 [Section 2.6.2.2 of ASCE/SEI 24-05 (2012, 2009, 2006 IBC and IRC)], the Smart Vent® FVs must be installed as follows: ■ With a minimum of two openings on different sides of each enclosed area. ■ With a minimum of one FV for every 200 square feet (18.6 m2) of enclosed area, except that the SmartVENT' Stacking Model #1540-511 and FloodVENT® Stacking Model #1540-521 must be installed with a minimum of one FV for every 400 square feet (37.2 m2) of enclosed area.
