Von Duprin keeps people safe and secure even in severe weather.
Von Duprin, the leading manufacturer of fire and life safety products, announces the release of the WS9827/9927 surface vertical rod exit device.
Many areas of the United States are subject to the extreme wind-load and debris impact conditions resulting from tornados and hurricanes. The past decade has brought record-breaking numbers of deadly storms across the central and southern regions of the country; every state has experienced at least one tornado.
It is important to ensure life safety during these severe wind storm events. The 2009 International Building CodeŽ has developed new standards that specifically address the design and construction for structures that have been designated as either hurricane or tornado shelters, ICC 500 Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters.
Available for immediate order, Von Duprin’s new exit device has been designed and tested to provide the highest level of performance. The WS9827/9927 exit is certified to comply with ICC 500 Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s publication FEMA 361 - Design and Construction Guidance for Community Safe Rooms.
