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, allowing the door to rotate out of the way and allow flow. The water level stabilizes, equalizing the lateral forces. Each unit is fabricated from stainless steel. Smart Vent® Automatic Foundation Flood Vents are available in various models and sizes as described in Table 1. The SmartVENT® Stacking Model #1540-511 and FloodVENT®, Stacking Model #1540-521 units each contain two vertically arranged openings per unit. 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 SmartVENT® Model #1540-51.0 and SmartVEN-14 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 mm2) 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 mm2) of net free area to supply natural ventilation. Other FVs recognized in this report do not offer natural ventilation. 3.4 Flood Vent Sealing Kit: The Flood Vent Sealing Kit Model #1540-526 is used with SmartVENT® Model- #1540-520. It is a Homasote 440 Sound Barrier® (ESR-1374) insert with 21 — 2-inch-by-2- inch (51 mm x 51 mm).squares cut in it: See Figure 4. 4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION 4.1 SmartVENT 0 and FloodVENT®: SmartVENT® and FloodVENTO are designed to be installed into walls or overhead doors of existing or new construction from the exterior side. 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 ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are not to be construed as representing aesthetics or any other attributes not specifically addressed, nor are they to be construed as an endorsement of the subject of the report or a recommendation for its use.
