Constructed using multiple layers of fire-resistant gypsum and mineral fiber insulation, cabinet body has a rugged powder coated steel exterior that provides excellent corrosion resistance. Under fire conditions, intumescent strips expand and hermetically seal all gaps to reduce heat entering the cabinet, providing 90-minutes of content protection and extended evacuation time. Hybrid style doors open or close manually and include a damper that adjusts the force needed to move the doors. In the event of a fire, the built-in fusible link system releases to allow automatic closure of doors at 122°F (50°C).
Powder-coat finish steel shelves adjust on 1-1/4-inch (32-mm) increments and have a load capacity of 165-lbs (75-kgs). Shelves with 1-inch (30-mm) high ledge prevent small containers from easily sliding off. Removable bottom sump with detachable perforated insert features a 3-sided lip seal to ensure leaks or spills from shelves are captured at the bottom of the 3-in (76-mm) sump, keeping containers stored in the sump clean and dry.
Haz-Alert™ reflective tri-lingual warning labels are highly visible under fire conditions or during power outages when illuminated with a flashlight. Independent cylinder locks on each door includes a locking state indicator (re/green). Cabinets also feature adjustable leveling feet, an integrated transport base for easy repositioning (base cover optional), and mandatory air vents per EN 14470-1. Vent butterfly valve closes securely at 158°F (70°C) in the event of a fire. Vents include flame arresters and caps for FM compliance.
