* 2009 and 2006 International Residential Code® (IRC)
evaluated:
■ Physical operation
■ Water flow
USES
ie Smart Vent® units are automatic foundation flood
nts (AFFVs) employed to equalize hydrostatic pressure
i nonfire-resistance-rated foundation walls, rolling -type
erhead, doors and building walls subject to rising or
ling flood waters. The Smart Vent® units are intended for
e where flood hazard areas have been established in
cordance with IBC Section 1612.3 or IRC Section
Q22.1. Certain models also allow natural ventilation in
cordance with Section 1203 of the IBC or Section 408.1
the IRC.
DESCRIPTION
1 General:
subjected to pressure from rising water, the Smart
AFFVs disengage, then pivot open to allow flow in
direction to equalize water level and hydrostatic
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 fabricated 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 mm/s). 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.
3.3 Model Sizes:
The FloodVENTTM Model #1540-520, SmartVENTTM'Model
#1540-510, FloodVENTTM Overhead Door Model
#1540-524, and SmartVENTTM Overhead Door Model
#1540-514 units measure 153/4 inches wide by 73/4 inches
high (400 by 196.9 mm). The Wood Wall Flood Model
#1540-570 and Wood Wall Flood Overhead Door Model
#1540-574 units measure 14 inches wide by 83/4 inches
high (355.6 by 222.25 mm). The SmartVENTTM Stacking
Model #1540-511 and FloodVENTTM Stacking Model
#1540-521 units measure 16 inches wide by 16 inches
high (406.4 by 406.4 mm):
3.4 Ventilation:
The SmartVENT® Model #1540-510 and SmartVENT®
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 SmartVENTTM 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 AFFVs recognized in this report do not offer natural
ventilation.
4.0 INSTALLATION
