UL Listed Shrink Out Smoke Vents - CSO and CSOS

Shrink-Out Smoke Vents

Standard Shrink-Out Smoke Vents
Shrink-Out Smoke Vents are gravity operated acrylic double domes designed to automatically shrink and fall out in the event of a fire. These units are generally used when buildings have no sprinkler system or they employ a standard sprinkler system designed to operate at 165 degrees.

ESFR Rated Shrink-Out Smoke Vents

Safety Considerations

Skylights pose an inherent risk of injury or death from fall throughs, and the safety of others is of the utmost importance to VELUX.  VELUX recommends that the customer, building owner or manager use additional protection with the skylight such as an exterior or interior safety cage, to enhance long-term safety.  The building owner or manager is responsible for providing fall protection around the skylight in accordance with OSHA regulations.  VELUX also recommends that the building owner or manager restrict roof access only to personnel who have been cautioned as to the location of the skylights, and warned not to sit, step or walk on the skylights.
