AOV Accessories

Smoke vent accessories are the parts that complete a fully compliant smoke ventilation system — smoke detectors, control panels, and manual override and fire-brigade priority switches. Built for reliability and easy installation, they keep your AOV smoke vents and natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (NSHEVs) working efficiently and compliant with UK fire-safety regulations.

What's in the range
Alongside the vents themselves, a smoke ventilation system needs the controls and detection that trigger and operate it. Our accessories cover the essentials: smoke detectors, control panels, manual override switches and fire-brigade priority switches — all designed to work seamlessly with BS EN 12101-2 certified smoke vents for reliable smoke and heat extraction.

New systems or upgrades
The accessories suit both new installations and upgrades to existing setups. They're fully compatible with our certified AOV smoke vents, so whether you're specifying a complete system from scratch or adding to one that's already in place, they help keep the installation compliant with fire-safety regulations and building codes.

Manual override and fire-brigade priority switches
Two switch types matter most in an emergency. A manual override switch lets building occupants open the vents themselves if needed; a fire-brigade priority switch lets firefighters operate the vents directly when they arrive. Both ensure smoke and heat are cleared efficiently — improving visibility and safety in the stairwells, corridors and other escape routes where it counts.

Why they matter
Well-chosen accessories add to the safety, reliability and efficiency of the whole system: fast smoke and heat extraction, seamless integration with the fire alarm, and trusted quality across both domestic and commercial buildings.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a manual override switch and a fire-brigade priority switch?
A manual override switch lets building occupants open the smoke vents themselves in an emergency. A fire-brigade priority switch lets firefighters operate the vents directly when they arrive, taking control of the system. Both are there to make sure smoke and heat can be cleared quickly, whoever needs to act.
Can these accessories be added to an existing AOV smoke vent system?
Yes — they suit both new installations and upgrades to existing setups. They're fully compatible with our certified AOV smoke vents, so you can complete a new system or extend and improve one that's already in place.
Do the accessories need to match the smoke vents?
They're designed to work seamlessly with BS EN 12101-2 certified smoke vents, and are fully compatible with our AOV range. If you're mixing components or working with an existing system, it's worth checking compatibility with our team so everything integrates cleanly with the fire alarm.
