Fire Stop/Wall Thimble/Support, (SC_ _FS):

•The Saf-T Vent SC Fire Stop can be used as a firestop, a wall thimble, or as a support plate.

•To use as a Wall Thimble prepare an opening according to the chart below. Remove any insulation from the opening, using additional framing if necessary. Attach the plate over the center of the opening using appropriate fasteners.

•Install the vent section through the thimble plate and secure the section to the thimble by screwing the self-tapping screws through the holes in the tabs on the plate and into the outer wall of the vent. Apply silicone sealant around the vent section where it passes through the plate and around the plate where it is attached to the structure.

•To use as a Firestop before passing through ceilings or enclosed chases, prepare a round or square opening ¼” larger than the outer jacket (5¼” for 3” vent or 7¼” for 4” vent). Remove any insulation from the opening. Secure the firestop to the structure at the four (4) corners. Install the vent section through the firestop and secure to the thimble by screwing the self-tapping screws through the holes in the tabs on plate and into outer wall of the vent. This method can also be used to support the vent section either vertically or horizontally.

Tall Cone Flashing:

Directly On Roof or Curb:

Tall Cones are available for flat (SC_ _TCF), 2/12 pitch (SC_ _TCFA), and 6/12 - 12/12 pitch roofs (SC_ _TCFB). Prepare a square or round opening at least 1/4” larger than the outer jacket (5¼” for 3” vent or 7¼” for 4” vent). Remove any insulation from the opening. Apply weather-stripping or outdoor caulk to the bottom of the cone plate and attach the plate to the roof using common construction methods. Flash over the cone plate and seal the fastener heads using normal roofing requirements. When the vent pipe is in place through the Tall Cone, attach a storm collar (sold separately) around the pipe. Apply high temperature silicone sealant around the pipe where it passes through the top of the storm collar. Continue to install vent sections as needed to meet the height requirements by code. Seal weather exposed joints of the outer jacket with foil tape or an exterior grade silicone sealant.

SCG specifications

Burnham SCG, short for Burnham Smart City Grid, represents a groundbreaking initiative aimed at reshaping urban landscapes through the integration of modern technologies and sustainable practices. Situated in the heart of a growing metropolis, Burnham SCG embodies the principles of smart city design, focusing on creating an efficient, interconnected environment that enhances the quality of life for its residents.

One of the key features of Burnham SCG is its extensive use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This infrastructure enables real-time data collection from various sensors strategically placed throughout the city. For instance, smart streetlights equipped with sensors adjust their brightness based on ambient light conditions and pedestrian activity, effectively reducing energy consumption. This use of IoT extends to waste management, where smart bins signal when they are full, optimizing collection routes and minimizing fuel consumption.

In addition to IoT, Burnham SCG places a strong emphasis on renewable energy sources. The city integrates solar panels across public buildings and utilizes wind turbines in designated areas, contributing to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. Furthermore, an advanced battery storage system ensures that excess energy generated during peak production times is efficiently stored and used during high-demand periods, promoting energy resilience.

Transportation in Burnham SCG embraces the future with integrated smart mobility solutions. A robust network of electric vehicle charging stations encourages the adoption of eco-friendly transportation. The city also features a user-friendly app that provides real-time information about public transport schedules, bike-sharing availability, and traffic conditions, making it easier for residents to navigate their daily commute.

The urban design of Burnham SCG prioritizes green spaces and walkability. Urban planners have designed parks and pedestrian-friendly pathways that encourage outdoor activities and community engagement. These green areas not only enhance urban aesthetics but also contribute to improved air quality and biodiversity.

Lastly, community involvement stands at the core of Burnham SCG’s framework. The city regularly engages its residents through public forums and digital platforms, ensuring that their voices are heard in decision-making processes regarding urban development and sustainability initiatives.

In summary, Burnham SCG is a visionary model of a smart city that integrates technology, sustainability, and community engagement. With its innovative features and forward-thinking policies, it sets a benchmark for future urban developments around the world.
