Product Warning:
STRUCTURAL DISCLAIMER - Customers must consult a structural engineer to verify suitability for the intended use and site conditions. Installers must be qualified and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, safety factors, and correct fixing materials and procedures.
If the transom weight above the header exceeds 100 pounds (45.4 kg), the transom must be supported from the ceiling to prevent bowing. Options include Cat. No. B5BC Smoke Baffle Channel or PH94 Patch Fittings. Contact the CRL Technical Sales Department for assistance.
Most shipping weights are approximate. If exact weight is required to determine shipping costs, request verification from CRL Customer Service before ordering. Product images are representative; colors may vary by monitor settings.
