Automatic Opening Vent (AOV)
Verified by manufacturer 1 month ago
Automatic opening vent (AOV) to reduce smoke and heat, with a choice of glazing types.
Application
To reduce smoke and heat in the case of fires, and to enable escape.
Description
Features and benefits:
- In addition to effective air flow when operational, the automatic opening vents resist weather penetration and provide appropriate thermal insulation when closed.
- Can be used with simple control systems linked to smoke detectors, networked systems or centralized control panels.
- Manufactured in accordance with EN 12101-2.
- High performance U-value.
- Can be with exposed actuators or concealed actuators.
- Wide range of bespoke sizes from 700x600mm to 1500x2500mm.
Operation and ventilation options include;
- 140° opening AOV (1500mm maximum span/opening width).
- Electrically operated.
Glazing options (Developed U-Values shown) include;

Mounting | Roof mounted, single pitched.Guidance for specification option: Vent can open to 90º or 140º. Can be supplied with an insulated kerb for fixing directly to the roof deck. The roofing membrane is dressed up the outside of the kerb to provide weathering. Alternatively, if a kerb is constructed as part of the roofing system, a kerb adapter can be supplied. Both kerb and kerb adaptors are manufactured from folded galvanized steel or aluminium, and can be thermally broken. Roof mounted, double pitched.Guidance for specification option: Both pitches of the vent open to 90º. Can be supplied with an insulated kerb for fixing directly to the roof deck. The roofing membrane is dressed up the outside of the kerb to provide resistance to weathering. Alternatively, if a kerb is constructed as part of the roofing system, a kerb adapter can be supplied. Both kerb and kerb adaptors are manufactured from folded galvanized steel or aluminium, and can be thermally broken. |
