AOV Smoke Vent comprising PVC kerb with a polycarbonate dome. Our AOV smoke vents are designed to automatically extract smoke in the event of a fire. Typically sited on flat roofs above corridoors and stairwells the vents open to an angle of 140 degrees in less than 60 seconds. The range is fully tested and certified in accordance with BS EN 12101-2. Covering standards for safety, security, non-fragility and fire safety with the full guarantee of an established, accredited UK manufacturer.

Kerb options to suit your own upstand or fitting directly onto your roof deck

100mm DF (Direct Fix) kerb - fits to an existing upstand	365mm PVC kerb for fitting directly on the flat roof
See "How to measure DF Kerb version"for details of sizes, daylight sizes and the Aerodynamic free area with and without wind deflectors.	See "How to measure 365mm Kerb version" for details of sizes, daylight sizes and the Aerodynamic free area with and without wind deflectors.

Wind deflector options

100mm DF (Direct Fix) kerb - with wind deflectors	365mm PVC kerb - with wind deflectors
Wind deflectors manipulate the air flow over and around the AOV, helping increase the aerodynamic free area (AA) of the AOV. In all cases the wind deflectors increase the Aerodynamic Free Area, meaning a smaller AOV with wind deflectors can match or out perform a bigger AOV without. This is particularly useful when needing to achieve an Aerodynamic Free Area of more than 0.70 Aa m2 in a stairwell as per the requirement of EN 12101-2. Please see the table further down the listing for more information.
