INSTALLATION
The following is a general instruction for installing, operating and maintaining smoke vent
products. These are recommended general guidelines only. Locally accepted roofing and
sealing practices and procedures should be followed as appropriate for the different roofing
systems. This product may be installed on a flat or sloping roof. When installed on a slope up
to 7:12 pitch
(30˚),
the hinge side must run parallel with the slope.
CAUTION: Smoke Vent
Doors Are Under Spring Pressure.
1.
Ensure that the roof mounting surface is level to avoid twisting of the smoke vent base.
It is essential that the vents are installed level and square for the door to make a proper
seal. Place the smoke vent over the existing opening in the roof that has been prepared
with appropriate roofing membrane, if applicable.
a.
The roof rough opening dimensions are equal to the vent dimensions as
measured from the inside curb to inside curb. For example, a 48” x 96” smoke
vent will have a rough opening of 48” by 96”.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper selection, installation, or use can cause personal injury or property damage.
It is solely the responsibility of the user, through their own analysis, to select products suitable to the specific application
requirements, ensure proper maintenance and use as intended. Follow local, state, and federal regulations for proper
