Emergency release Pivette
This doorset incorporates a retractable guide bolt that
overrides the standard mode of action, allowing the door to open
away from an obstruction. Emergency Release Pivette is ideal for
WCs and other areas where access might otherwise prove difficult
in an emergency, such as a fallen person obstructing the
conventional opening arc.
Fire resistance
Pivette doorsets are available either non-rated or FD30 (30
minutes) in accordance with BS 476: Part 22: 1987 and are
BWF-CERTIFIRE accredited. FD30 doorsets are supplied with a
free-swing electromagnetic door closer which should be
interfaced with the fire detection system. In day to day use the
door remains easy to operate but, in the event of a fire or
power failure, will automatically close. Intumescents are fitted
to the frames of FD30 doorsets in the factory.
Pivette widths
The sizes shown below are offered as standard, with structural
opening sizes of 1110mm and above meeting the requirements of
Approved Document M and BS8300. Other non-standard widths can be
accommodated where technically possible. The maximum door height
available is 2040mm.
