Temperature rise: Within allowable per ASTM E119 and CAN/ULC S101Īn access door that might be good for 60 minutes mounted on flammable wooden studs could be good for three hours on a non-flammable enclosure. Fire-rated access doors, for HORIZONTAL use, are subject to the following:Ĭertification: ASTM E119 (2012), CAN/ULC S101 (2007) Rating Achieved 3 hours in non-combustible construction and 1 hour in combustible construction Maximum size: 24"X36" (610 mm X 914 mm) (hinges and latches on the side of 36"), tolerance on dimension limitations is 3” (76 mm) if the area does not exceed 864 in². Rating Achieved: 3 hours, neutral/negative pressure Maximum size: 48" x 48" (1219mm x 1219mm), maximum area of 2304 in², tolerance on height and width limitation is 3” (76mm) if the area does not exceed 2304 in². The maximum size for horizontal ceilings is 24" X 36" (610 mm X 914 mm) (hinges and latches on the side of 36"), tolerance on dimension limitations is 3” (76 mm) if the area does not exceed 864 in².įire-rated access doors, for VERTICAL use, are subject to the following:Ĭertification: UL 10B (2009), NFPA 252 (2012), CAN/ULC S104 (2010).

It is excellent for industrial, commercial, or residential projects where a fire-rated product is needed by code. PFI fire-rated access panel comes with a one-inch flange for a quick flush installation on any surface. Fire-rated access doors help to reduce the spread of fire for a limited period. It comes equipped with a slam latch and continuous piano hinge, inside panel release, and is finished with DuPont high quality white powder coat. PFI is manufactured with a 16-gauge cold rolled steel frame and a 20-gauge galvannealed steel door with 2 inches of mineral wool for insulation. It also helps to prevent smoke from spreading. PREVENTION: PFI helps to keep air from passing through that can feed a fire. Access doors can also have either automatic or manual latching mechanisms. Pressure discrepancies can force non-latched doors open, allowing the fire to spread. PFI has an active latch bolt that can withstand the pressure that a fire can cause. That gives time to either control and put out the fire or help people exit the building. PFI is built to withstand the heat from a fire for a certain amount of time before failing. PROTECTION: PFI protects your gas lines, electrical wiring, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning by helping contain the fire. BA-PFI can help with your business's progress toward LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification which can help with tax breaks and other benefits. As per UL and NFPA standards, once the installation is complete and the provided springs are hooked to the back of the panel, the door will be self-closing and self-locking.ĪCCESSIBILITY: BA-PFI provides easy access to areas behind walls or ceilings for hassle-free maintenance, while safely and securely protecting building components according to code.
