- IBC Code Compliance -- Designed to comply with International Building Code (IBC) requirements for opening protective assemblies.
- Hose Stream Tested -- Successfully passed the ASTM E2226 hose stream test, ensuring durability under fire conditions.
- Automated Operation -- Releases upon receiving a fire alarm signal, with push-to-exit buttons for egress and optional safety sensors.
- Multibarrel Design -- Features a Steel-Tex fabric overlap (24") with an inverted T bottom bar for stability, allowing safe passage during emergencies.
- Easy Installation -- Mounted with threaded rods and unistruts, requiring a 120V power supply to the motor side of the headbox.
It is crucial to adhere to building codes when installing fire shutters to ensure compliance and maximize safety.
The U.S. Smoke & Fire Hose Stream 180 shutter is tested to UL 10B and has a minimum of 3 hour fire protection rating to be sufficient for an opening protective in a 3-hour fire barrier enclosing wall per IBC Table. A hose stream test (ASTM E2226) is conducted as part of the fire endurance testing and the shutter shall have passed this test.
The head-box is mounted utilizing threaded rods and unistruts. For power, 120V to motor side of the head-box. The Steel-Tex Fire Shutter (SFS) will release when receiving a signal from fire alarm system (FAS). Push to exit buttons are installed for egress. Leading edge safety sensor option. BMS relay option. Beam Sensor option.
Fire doors also play a critical role in fire protection by containing flames and smoke during a fire.
The Hose Stream 180 is a multibarrel assembly with steel-tex fabric overlap of 24". A building occupant can step through the overlap to the opposing side of the shutter. The inverted T bottom bar holds the overlap in place for the length of the headbox.
