A fixed, visible flue lets overhead sprinklers reach the floor in a fire, which is what NFPA 13 and the International Building Code ask for, and a documented flue can help at insurance renewal. Four models cover a 3 in. single stop through an 18 in. double stop, all with pre-punched holes and self-drilling screws included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso called: rack flue space dividers, pallet stops for racking, pallet rack backstops, flue space keepers, longitudinal flue dividers.
