    VENT-ALL® EXPLOSION-VENTING FASTENERS

    LIMIT DAMAGE FROM INTERNAL OR


    EXTERNAL EXPLOSIONS
    Vent-All explosion venting fasteners, a series of FM
    approved collapsible washers on stainless steel
    fasteners, are designed to minimize injury and
    destruction of property from explosions caused by
    agricultural or industrial operations.

    COMMON APPLICATIONS
    GRAIN HANDLING FACILITIES AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS

    INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS POWER PLANTS

    FEATURES & BENEFITS SPECIFICATIONS


    • Diameters:
    Venting washer comes
    preassembled onto fastener – Screw: 1/4" (#14)
    Choice of four Vent-All washers are – Washer: .729" O.D.
    available, each to meet a specific
    304 Stainless range of pressure release values • Length: 3/4" to 7-3/4"
    Steel Fastener
    (tapping screw) • Head/Drive Style: 3/8" Hex
    • Thread/Point: Type A and Type B
    • Material:
    • Maintains standard building integrity
    – Screw: stainless steel
    • Minimizes destruction from explosion by quickly
    – Washer: special aluminum alloy bonded
    dissipating explosive forces
    with EPDM or neoprene
    • May be used with any sheet or panel, with or without
    • Screw Installation can be started with a torque adjustable
    insulation, field-assembled or shop assembled walls screwgun at low speeds (60-120 rpm suggested) but should
    be finished with hand tools to prevent washer distortion.
    NOTE: A snug fit is recommended, Vent-All fasteners should not be torqued.

    BASIC DESIGN GUIDELINES Sample layout


    Metal Skin -Single Sheet
    cable
    Cable
    3' 0" restraint
    It is most desirable to vent shock waves through sidewalls of With 3" Batt Insulation
    a structure. Venting through metal roofs can be troublesome A
    because of movement due to expansion and contraction from
    temperature changes. Built-up roofs also present problems; use Xx

    3' 9"
    of rigid insulation, felts, and ballast would tend to delay venting.

    Generally, for each Vent-All fastener, a hole is drilled into the Xx


    panels and framing; then the hole in the top panel is enlarged B
    to 1/2" diameter. It is necessary to install one +centering device
    per fastener to prevent sagging of the panel. All fasteners must Xx
    be driven with care to prevent distortion of the washers.
