The Acton vent is to open up the tone of the B/F# (xxx|oxo) as that's effectively a forked note having a closed tonehole immediately below the B/F# tonehole which can be stuffy compared to the C or Bb either side of it as they're much better vented.

And as it offers the same full venting as the keyed note (xxx|xo/o), that also makes the altissimo Eb fingering possible with just RH2 (oxx|oxoAb/Eb) instead of having to use the full fingering (oxx|xo/oAb/Eb) when you have a clarinet with an Acton vent fitted.

Only Buffet don't fit the Acton vent to their clarinets - neither has Peter Eaton when his were based on the B&H 1010. You're far more likely to see the Acton vent fitted to reform Boehm and German Boehm clarinets than on a Buffet.
