Fire-Rated Applications
If your low voltage device will be installed in a fire-
rated wall then you need a classified fire resistive
enclosure for your device. Per the International
Building Code a fire wall is defined as a fire-resistive
rated wall having protected openings which restricts
the spread of fire and extends continuously from the
foundation to or through the roof, with sufficient
structural stability under fire conditions to allow
collapse of construction on either side without collapse
of the wall. A firewall is classified with a fire-resistive
rating. A fire resistive rating is the period of time a
building element, component, or assembly maintains
the ability to confine a fire, continues to perform a
given structural function, or both. Carlon’s closed back
boxes are classified for two hour or less fire resistive
wall assemblies.
Therefore, a closed back box should be used in these
applications. Carlon recommends using our Carlon
SuperBlue line of products.
