Cor-A-Vent Product Guide

9 The following tests recognized by the International Code Council (ICC) were performed on Cor-A-Vent ® Siding Vent products SV-3, SV-5 and Sturdi-Strips by independent testing agency PRI Construction Material Technologies. Purpose: Determine the compliance of Cor-A-Vent’s SV-3 and SV-5 Sidings Vents and Sturdi-Strip with the requirements found in Florida Building Code (2010), Section 2606.4: Specifications (Plastic). Test Methods: Testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM D 635-03 and ASTM D 635-06: Standard Test Method for Rate of Burning and/or Extent and Time of Burning of Plastics in a Horizontal Position, ASTM D 1929-96 (2000) ε1 and ASTM D 1929-96 (2001) ε1 : Standard Test Method for Determining Ignition Temperature of Plastics and ASTM E 136 -12: Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750°C. Compressive strength was determined in accordance with ASTM 1621-10: Standard Test Method for Compressive Properties of Rigid Cellular Plastics. Resistance to Accelerated Weathering was determined by comparative tensile strength testing in accordance with ASTM D 638: Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics before and after 2,000 hours of accelerated weathering in accordance with ASTM G 154: Standard Practice for Operating Fluorescent Ultraviolet (UV) Lamp Apparatus for Exposure of Nonmetallic Materials. Exposure consisted of 12 hour cycles – 8 hours UV at 158°F followed by 4 hours condensation at 104°F. Statement of Attestation: The physical property performance of this material was determined in accordance with the standard methods listed herein. The laboratory test results presented in this report are representative of the material supplied. Purpose: Determine the drainage efficiency of Cor-A-Vent’s SV-3 and SV-5 Siding Vents and Sturdi-Strip in accordance with ASTM E 2273: Standard Test Method for Determining the Drainage Efficiency of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) Clad Wall Assemblies. Test Methods: Testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM E 2273-03(2011): Standard Test Method for Determining the Drainage Efficiency of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) Clad Wall Assemblies as modified to be applied to the product, as installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s published installation details. Two wall assembly specimens, 4’x8’, were constructed to typify the standard installation of Cor-A-Vent’s SV-3 and SV-5 Siding Vents and Sturdi-Strip as follows: Statement of Attestation: The properties of this material were determined in accordance with the requirements set forth in the ICC-ES AC356 Acceptance Criteria for Moisture Drainage Systems Used with Exterior Cement Plasters or Adhered Masonry Veneer Walls. The laboratory test results presented in this report are representative of the material supplied.
