The YOV Structural Silicone Glazed (SSG) Operable Vent enhances the aesthetics of a building without the large sightline of a traditional window and improves occupant comfort with high thermal performance and an intentional design to provide optimum natural ventilation and natural light. The YOV SSG Vent is ideal for high rise, multi-family hotels and mixed-use residential as well as schools and offices.
In the YOV SSG Operable Vent, structural silicone, glass, triple gaskets and thermal isolators work together to provide high thermal performance, without a traditional thermal break. The YOV SSG Operable Vent accepts one-inch insulating glass and can be field-glazed or shop-glazed into a four-sided SSG curtain wall or any two-sided vertical combination of SSG or captured systems. It also has the ability to be triple-glazed and provides an integral venetian blind option. The YOV SSG Operable Vent comes in multiple configurations, including Casement Out or Project Out, and many YKK AP hardware options are available, including stainless steel hinges and bronze locking hardware, to achieve the desired look for the building. Tinted glass is recommended for the best aesthetic results.
The YOV SSG Operable Vent provides excellent ventilation that meets the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) through Zone 6 with standard Low E (U = 0.39 COG), which can be used for smoke evacuation, egress and as a source of fresh air for HVAC systems. In addition to exceptional thermal performance and condensation resistance, the YOV SSG Vent also provides AW 70 architectural performance. AW 100 performance can be achieved with the Project Out configuration using the proper VMPL hardware.
