Product catalog summary
Introduction
APC Dayliter® Fire and Smoke Vents are designed to enhance safety by effectively managing smoke and heat during a fire. These vents are crucial in protecting building occupants and firefighters by allowing smoke and gases to escape, thus reducing the risk of flashback and lowering internal temperatures.

Specifications and Compliance
The vents comply with Section 910 of the International Fire Code, which mandates automatic smoke control systems in high-piled storage facilities and large one-story buildings. APC vents meet the International Building Code (IBC) requirements for buildings over 50,000 square feet.

Functionality and Benefits
APC smoke vents automatically open during a fire, venting toxic smoke and gases. This feature improves visibility and allows firefighters to locate and attack the fire more efficiently. The vents work in conjunction with sprinkler systems, enhancing overall fire safety. They are designed to prevent lateral fire spread and reduce collateral water damage.

Design and Durability
APC vents are lightweight yet strong, with a typical 4' x 8' unit weighing 110 lbs. The Quadri-dome design resists hail, debris, and birds. The dropout design ensures reliability by eliminating moving parts that could fail, and the vents do not require maintenance.

Cost-Effectiveness
APC vents are cost-effective compared to mechanical systems and exhaust fans. They are easy to install and offer substantial savings for building owners.

Product Options
APC offers various models, including the AUL and AFL, which meet UL standards for smoke and heat vents. The vents are available in standard and oversized units, with options for curb-mounted installations and safety cages.

Conclusion
APC Dayliter® Fire and Smoke Vents provide a reliable and economical solution for fire safety in industrial buildings. Their design and functionality make them a preferred choice for enhancing building safety and compliance with fire codes.
