Smoke vents are designed to open automatically to provide
emergency smoke and heat ventilation. Prompt venting in case of fire is essential for the safe evacuation of occupants and for effective fire-fighting conditions within a building.
The smoke vent is not intended for use as general-purpose building ventilation devices.
The International Building Code requires smoke venting in a variety of applications including Factory and Storage
Facilities, Stages and Platforms.
