UL 10D3 HROPENINGS IN SMOKE BARRIER WALLS AND FIRE PARTITION WALLS
SD240A® 3Hr Accordion Curtain for Corner Conditions with Egress
A 3-hour accordion curtain built for corner conditions, with egress.

— APPLICATION
Openings in smoke barrier walls, openings in fire partition walls, and enclosing monumental stairways with a fabric corner curtain at a 90-degree or obtuse angle — no column required, because the accordion curtain fabric turns the corner. Considered a "smoke barrier" in the IBC, the SD240A® deploys to the floor and utilizes wall trays that are flush with the face of drywall.
