FLAMEBAR FIRE-RATED SHAFT ASSEMBLY AND SYSTEMS FOR MECHANICAL / SHEET METAL CONTRACTORS
FLAMEBAR VENTILATION AND A2L SYSTEMS BENEFIT MECHANICAL / SHEET METAL CONTRACTORS
FLAMEBAR SIMPLIFIES COORDINATION AT A LOWER INSTALLED COST FOR FIRE-RATED SHAFT ASSEMBLY, HORIZONTAL, AND ENCLOSURES FOR FAN, A2L REFRIGERANT, AND FUEL LINES
Flamebar systems increase competitiveness at bid time. Since field labor time for Flamebar is similar to bare sheet metal, less total on-site labor means lower installed costs and reduced constructability risk. Flamebar offers a value-engineering opportunity to reduce contract costs and enhance margins.
With Flamebar systems, the coated sheet metal duct becomes the fire-rated shaft assembly enclosure for both ventilation and A2L applications, saving time and space compared to fire-wrapped duct or drywall assemblies. Conquest Flamebar offers fire-rated enclosures for diverse applications including horizontal ventilation, vertical shafts, air handling units, A2L refrigerant lines, fan and variable frequency drive (VFD), grease duct, generator room exhaust, and fuel line enclosures.
- Flamebar horizontal systems offer a low-profile total system solution. Installation and coordination are easy without the added complexity and space required with type X drywall enclosures or ceramic wrap.
- Flamebar systems reduce inspections in the vertical configuration, accelerating schedule, and grease duct systems do not require on-site welding.
- Flammable A2L refrigerants require fire-rated enclosures that protect in the event of fire and contain refrigerants in the event of leaks. The Flamebar A2L system increases mechanical contract value, offers design flexibility, is compact, installs easily, can be used with natural or mechanical ventilation solutions, and is code compliant.
FLAMEBAR INCREASES MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR SCOPE AND PROFIT OPPORTUNITY
Flamebar increases project opportunities for mechanical contractors by shifting scope from type X drywall to mechanical trades. Compared to bare duct enclosed in drywall, Flamebar sheet metal installation costs increase slightly while the value of the installed mechanical system increases significantly. This increases mechanical contract value and profit opportunity without a significant increase in field labor.
Fire-rated for up to 4 hours, Flamebar applications include horizontal, vertical shaft, A2L refrigerant enclosures, non-welded grease duct, generator room exhaust, and fuel lines.
WHY FLAMEBAR IS INSTALLED BY SUBCONTRACTORS
Conquest provides training for the handling and installation of Flamebar systems, which are delivered to the field or staging facility ready to install.
MECHANICAL SUBCONTRACTORS CAN ACCELERATE SCHEDULES
Flamebar permits easy installation of rated shafts without scheduling around drywall installers, reduces inspections, and accelerates schedules. Flamebar systems occupy less space and simplify coordination, and Flamebar A2L systems offer 2-hour protection at far less cost than other means and methods.
SHEET METAL SUBCONTRACTORS CAN INCREASE PROJECT SCOPE
Sheet metal contractors can increase project scope by value engineering with Flamebar fire-rated duct systems, including protection for fan and VFD enclosures and with the installation of Flamebar fire-rated A2L refrigerant systems.
DRYWALL SUBCONTRACTORS CAN REDUCE COSTLY MOBILIZATIONS
Flamebar enables drywall contractors to avoid labor-intensive type X shaft and horizontal drywall assemblies, avoid frequent inspections, and reduce costly mobilizations.
SUPPORT FOR SUBCONTRACTORS
Conquest Flamebar engineers are available to provide value engineering recommendations for the most cost-effective fire-rated HVAC system designs. From project kick-off through delivery, our experienced, friendly, and responsive sales support staff and project managers understand the importance of timely, accurate communication.
To accomplish this, we review construction-ready drawings with project managers and field superintendents with emphasis on unusual designs that require special handling.
At Conquest Flamebar, we take the long view and earn loyalty through frequent communication that ensures smooth project deliveries.
