Innovative, quality products Safety Concepts has built a reputation for innovative products, quality craftsmanship and custom applications. The same technology in the S-Vent is now being utilized in our new diffuser and smoke-detector cover. The only truly suicide preventive air grille ever made. . . The S-Vent family of security air grilles has been described by a leading suicide prevention expert as the only truly suicide-resistant air grille that has ever been available to the corrections industry. It is 100% impossible to loop anything through an S-Vent air grille so no direct fastening to it can be made. No other grille has this feature.
The best grille for combating contraband concealment It is not possible to conceal drugs or weapons either in or behind an S-Vent air grille. The same patented zigzag air passageway that prevents suicide also prevents contraband concealment.
Major operating cost savings thru better air-management The S-Vent air grille provides superior air management unequalled in the industry. Resulting operational cost savings are up to $350.00 per cell per annum. Objectionable air velocities in cells have lead to the expensive problem of inmates plugging the air grilles. All other grilles in the market today produce air velocities exceeding 50 fpm and often exceeding 150 fpm in the cell space commonly used by inmates. This leads to air grille plugging with not only the mess and expense of cleaning but many other problems that raise stress levels of both inmates and staff. Normal installations of the S-Vent air grille today totally eliminates air velocities exceeding 50 fpm from all cell space commonly used by inmates. This has produced remarkable results. Anecdotal evidence is showing that replacing commonly used grilles with S-Vent air grilles reduces plugging to virtually zero. Institutions have reported operating cost savings in the first year equaling virtually the total supply cost of S-Vent air grilles.
