FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Maintains 6” (or more) longitudinal flue space in double row pallet rack systems as required by International Building Code (IBC2012)
- Allows heat to escape through the flue to the sprinklers above, initiating sprinklers quicker
- Improves sprinkler performance by allowing water to reach lower inventory levels through open flue space
- Encourages the fire to spread vertically through the flue space rather than horizontally, potentially spreading to other rows of rack
- Easily installs on new or retrofitted pallet rack systems
- Attaches with high strength tek screws (included) for an easy and fast installation
- Compatible with wire decking (up to 2 ga. wire diameter)
- Same height as a 5” pallet thereby preventing product damage – contacts with the wood pallet instead of inventory
- Does not require larger row space than 12” (unless product overhangs), whereas beam stop competition may require a larger row space to compensate for the thickness of the beam
- Single row pallet safety stop in stock
- Pallet rack flue space control for single row applications
- Double walled and gusseted for superior strength
- Integral offset rib for wire deck clearance
