The Lumivent® automatic smoke vents provide the security and value of an automatic smoke vent with the added benefits of a skylight. Products feature impact resistant covers that do not require an additional fall protection screen. In the event of a fire, heat breaks the fusible link, allowing powerful lifting mechanisms to open the vent cover instantaneously. Pull handles are provided for interior or exterior manual operation and products are fully insulated and gasketed for weather tightness.
Uses and Applications
Automatic Smoke Vents protect property and aid firefighters in bringing a fire under control by removing smoke, heat, and gases from a burning building. Smoke ventilation improves air quality and visibility to allow occupants to get out and firefighters to get in to do their job. Smoke vents are ideally suited for large expanses of unobstructed space such as factories, warehouses, auditoriums, and retail facilities.
Assembly and Installation
Installation of BILCO automatic smoke vents is simply a matter of placing the vent over the roof opening and securing it to the roof deck through the holes provided in the base flange. The integral capflashing readily accepts roofing felts for built-up roofing applications, and Bilco's patented Bil-Clip® flashing system simplifies installation in single-ply roofing applications.
Materials and Finishes
Daylighting automatic smoke vents are available in 11 gauge (2.3 mm) aluminum construction and feature multi-wall polycarbonate covers .
