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. &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, Reissued February 2015 Revised May 2016 This report is subject to renewal February 2017. A Subsidiary of the lntemational Code Council° e11ftfrlg the door to rotate out of the way and allow flow. The water level stabilizes, equalizing the lateral forces.
