PRODUCT
2.1	TYPES
The door, ceiling or combined system shall use a vertical vinyl strip design to accommodate non-uniform rack heights and non-uniform rows. While it is the most flexible system to deploy, it does require a drop ceiling. The design is a simple one that incorporates current fire detection and suppression. It can also be used in conjunction with 90° corner brackets. 
VERTICAL ROOF
The vertical roof partition shall be 0.40 mil thick vinyl, available in 1-6 ft. (0.3-1.8m) linear width sections and drop-down lengths from 29" to 182" (736.6mm to 4622.8mm) sections. Vertical roof strips work with standard or any non-standard/uneven rows. This system is also designed to be used with the DCM racks, DCF racks or racks built by other manufacturers. The aluminum tracks shall be connected with a splicer to form a continuous track system.
•	Aluminum Track: Anodized aluminum with an ultimate tensile strength of at least 22,000 psi (1517 Bars).
•	The vinyl partition material will have a 2-inch extension to overlap with adjacent vinyl partition. This will ensure a seamless partition.
VERTICAL DOORS
The vertical strip door material shall be 0.40 mil thick vinyl, available in 1-6 ft. (0.3-1.8m) linear width sections and lengths from 98" to 182" (2489.6mm to 4622.8mm) sections. Vertical door strips work with standard 4 ft. (1.2m) and 6 ft. (1.8m) aisles and also with non-standard aisle dimensions. 
•	The vinyl strip partition material will have a 2-inch (50.8mm) extension to overlap with adjacent vinyl drop-down material. This will ensure a seamless partition.
2.2	CORNER BRACKETS
The Vertical System shall offer the choice of selecting rounded corner pieces or using straight pieces to form a 90° corner. If using rounded corner pieces, subtract 2 ft. (0.6m) from the row length on each side of the aisle. Applying vertical strip doors with rounded corners requires using the same vinyl length with the corner pieces and the vinyl strip doors. 
2.3	FUSIBLE LINKS
Listed by Underwriters Laboratories and FM Global. Mechanical heat activated. Maximum load = 45 lb. (20.4kg); Minimum load = 3 lb. (1.4kg). Corrosion resistant construction, brass components, high strength symmetrical shape, solid eye-to-eye connection for 360-degree placement. 
•	Ceiling Attachment: Spring steel. Twist-on to lock securely onto the ceiling grid. 7/16 in. (11.1mm) diameter loop. 1-1/2 in. (38.1mm) long.
