Not all Fans are Created Equal
Life Safety Professionals work hard to develop and enforce building
codes to eliminate or reduce potential threats. Nothing can be more
frustrating and sometimes more costly than not having the correct
product to comply with the building code for your project.
Wood is a Combustible Material
When you’re building a multi family residential project using wood
frame construction you’ll need to comply with stringent requirements
to prevent the spread of fire. These are likely to include the use of fire
rated products for ceiling penetrations such as bathroom exhaust fans.
Air King Fire Rated Fans have been tested and are UL Listed for use in
wood frame construction and have been successfully tested by UL in
more truss designs than any major manufacturer.
You will see competitor certifications that will say “For use in any fire
resistive Floor or Roof-Ceiling assembly”. That doesn’t necessarily mean
UL listed for wood frame construction. Wood construction is NOT fire
resistive; wood is a combustible material that fire fighters usually consider
fuel. The UL requirement for Listing in this case requires mounting and
testing of the fan in each approved truss design above an actual fire. You
know you have the right product for the application when the manufacturer
provides the truss design numbers for which the product was tested. No
design number - Not UL Listed for wood frame construction.
Air King Fire Rated Fans on the other hand are UL Listed for the greatest
number of wood frame truss designs (see page 19) at the time of this
printing. Be sure you have the right product and save yourself a lot of
time and trouble by starting with Air King.
