Putting it to the Test. Explovent vs. other Explosion Venting Solutions.
| Explovent | Alternative Blowout Siding |
|---|---|
| Explovent is the only venting system that can be tested at any time to periodically verify working conditions | Blowout siding cannot be field tested to verify working conditions outside of an explosion |
| Explovent is re-settable after testing and does not need to be replaced after usage | Blowout siding can only be used once, and must be replaced after opened |
| Explovent arrives on-site fully calibrated – ready to install | Blowout siding employs shear bolts and fasteners and thus is highly dependent on proper installation by site laborers |
| Explovent can be installed quickly and easily to save on labor costs | Blowout siding requires timely on site-engineering before installations |
| Explovent is lightweight and engineered in accordance with NFPA 68 code and OSHA guidelines | Blowout siding systems are typically larger and heavier than NFPA standards recommend |
| Explovent can be tested at any time to ensure that panels are functioning as intended | Without the availability for testing, blowout siding can be extremely unreliable |
| Explovent provides venting solutions for either wall or rooftop installation; as well as a range of natural day lighting options | Siding can only be provided on walls, with many systems being unable to provide functional, aesthetic solutions. |
| Explovent has Factory Mutual (FM) and ATEX approved models | Blowout siding systems cannot be non-destructively tested and are often not labeled. How can you tell that they work? |
| C/S Group has over 35 years of experience in specialty venting and is recognized as the leader in providing complete, code-compliant solutions. | Independent contractors lack the technical expertise and experience seen with C/S Group’s team of professionals |
