Pacific VP120-FH Fire Rated Floor Hatch -/120/120

 

The Pacific VP120-FH Fire Rated Floor Hatch consists of one or two proprietary fire rated non-load bearing panels resting in a pressed steel frame. The steel frame is fixed to a concrete floor.

The access hatch permits the installation of relatively large plant into the ceiling cavity or removal of that equipment for maintenance purposes.

Floor hatches are outside the scope of NZS 4520 and are therefore not labelled.

 Configuration Fire Resistance Rating

  1. Two hatch panels with a removal mullion between are required to achieve clear apertures greater than 1700 x 500mm. The hatch panel frame must use a 25mm stop.
  2. A removable steel cover plate is required to obtain 120 minutes of insulation. Insulation rating without the steel plate is limited to 60 minutes.
