What is a Fire Rated

Exhaust Fan?

The Air King Fire Rated Exhaust Fan Series consists

of a three part system designed to meet the NFP

A

’s

(National Fire Protection Association) Standard 90A.

The unit consists of a Housing, a Ceiling Radiation

Damper that is ULC Classified and rated for 3 - 4 hour

fire resistance, and the Motor/Blade/Grill. When all

three of these parts are used together they create a

Fire Rated Exhaust Fan.

What does a Fire

Rated Exhaust Fan Do?

The Fire Rated Exhaust Fan Series is designed to

automatically shut off and seal the duct from the rest

of the dwelling once the temperature of air passing

through the damper exceeds that of the fusible link.

This prevents the spread of smoke or fire through the

ducting system to the other rooms or dwellings.

Why do I need a Fire

Rated Exhaust Fan?

Your local code will dictate if and what type of Fire

Rated Exhaust Fan you will need. Generally any time

a common duct is used in a multi-dwelling situation,

a Fire Rated Exhaust Fan will be required to prevent

fire from using the common ducting to spread from

one dwelling to the next. This is usually true in

commercial and multi-family housing constructions.
