Vulcan Vents are fire and ember safe vents designed to self close when exposed to wildfires.
Fire Safety. For various reasons, including (i) the very different circumstances that may exist from one fire to another, (ii) the differences between conditions in an actual fire and laboratory conditions in which testing is conducted, and (iii) the inherent variability of fire tests, passing a laboratory test or certifying/labeling either Ff88, FfA or FfE (each a “Product”) for use in specific assemblies/systems does not mean that the same application of any such Product will necessarily provide an equivalent protection or the same result in an actual fire or in a new laboratory test. Furthermore, each Product, or combination thereof, is to be used only as a component of complete fire retardation systems. Ff88 or FfA will only contribute to slowing fire spread for the area where it has been applied and will not, by itself, prevent a fire from starting or continuing. The amount by which Ff88 or FfA retards a particular fire will depend, among other things, on (i) the amount of Ff88 or FfA applied, (ii) the conditions of the other elements of the assembly incorporating Ff88, or FfA, and (iii) the conditions of the actual fire itself. Ff88, FfA or FfE will not make a fire any less dangerous to persons or property. Firefree cannot guarantee that loss or injury will not be suffered by persons or property. It is the sole responsibility of the applicator to ensure that each Product has been applied in accordance with the application directions. It is the responsibility of the occupier to ensure the paint is not cracked, chipped or peeling.
