The Fyre-Tec™ window is a clean, precisely designed steel Horizontal
Slide, Single Hung or Fixed Lite window, having a 3/4 hour U.L. classified
rating. The Series 950 Fixed Lite is also available with a 1 hour
fire rating. Construction is roll formed steel sections with welded
corners which make our products exceptionally strong and long-lasting.
All Fyre-Tec™ fire window frames are Listed by Underwriters
Laboratories under the category of Door and Window Frames (GVTV).
The standard used to evaluate the windows is UL 9, Fire Tests of
Window Assemblies, which is a test standard which includes the test
method described in ASTM E163, Standard Methods of Fire Tests Of
Window Assemblies.
The Fyre-Tec™ window is the preferred design when steel fire
windows are specified in building code requirements.
Automatic heat closure devices (Heat activated fusible links) are
standard for all operating windows. Horizontal Sliding windows may
also be equipped with an ETL (Electrical Thermal Lock) mechanism
or a resettable device which may be activated by a fire or smoke
alarm, computer or other electrical signal. They provide even greater
building and occupant safety.
Fyre-Tec™ windows are also ideal as replacement windows for
older buildings that are required to meet up-dated code stipulations.
They are aesthetically compatible with all types of architecture
and with adjacent windows and doors in the building. For replacement
or new construction, the field-proven steel Fire Window is Fyre-Tec™.
Sub-frame mounting or fin system mounting kits are supplied with
all windows. The sub-frame mounting system is ideal for either retrofit
or new construction. The window openings may be finished out prior
to the installation of the provided sub-frame and window. The fin
system is designed to allow installation of the window into the construction
framing and subsequent trimming to the window.
Fyre-Tec™ windows accommodate a variety of UL fire rated glazing.
All Fyre-Tec windows are offered factory glazed with 1/4” (45
minute labeled) wire glass as standard. Rated clear ceramics and
Insulated Glass Units are also available. A 1 hour rating is optionally
available for Model 950 fixed lite windows. Glazing material is held
in place with full-length roll-formed steel snap-in retainers. Retainers
are additionally secured with machine screws. Single lites of glass
are not to exceed
code requirements.
