Accordion Fire Doors

Fire and Smoke Rated Doors With Egress

System Description: The AC8000 Series is comprised of seven accordion folding fire door system variations. The AC8000 Series is available in both manual and motor operated versions and they are available with and without emergency egress doors. These units are available with either 7” panels for a 9” pocket width requirement or with 14” panels for a 16” pocket width requirement.

System Advantages:

  • The AC8000 Series Accordion Fire Door Systems are easy to test and can be automatically reset.

    • The AC8000 Series Accordion Fire Door Systems require only 6” of head room and can be designed as bi-parting fire door systems.

    • The AC8000 Series Accordion Fire Door Systems are completely undetectable when in the stored fire ready position.

    • The AC8000 Series Fire Door Systems do not require floor tracks.

    • The AC8000 Series Fire Door Systems can navigate around contoured openings. Without egress doors they can navigate around a radius as small as 1'-6”. With egress doors they require a 5'-0” radius.

 

Design Alternatives: The AC8000 Series Accordion Fire Door Systems eliminate the need for conventional construction which utilized unsightly permanent door frames and swinging doors. The conventional method reduces opening size and obstructs desired sight lines.

 

Applications:

The AC8400, AC8500, AC8700, AC8800 and AC8900 Fire Door Systems are ideal for any application where fire protection and emergency egress is needed and conventional swinging doors would not provide an adequate and desirable solution. The AC8200 and AC8600 are ideal for any application where just fire protection is required and egress is not an issue.

 

Ideal applications are: cross-corridor situations in schools and hospitals as well as area separations. They are ideal solutions for fire protection in area separation walls, occupancy separations, elevator lobby and corridor separations. The AC8000 Series Fire Door Systems have become increasingly designed into casinos, museums and retail areas.
