Babcock-Davis BIT-K: High-Performance Fire-Rated Protection
The Babcock-Davis BIT-K is an industrial-grade, UL-listed "B" label access door engineered for rigorous fire-safety requirements. Designed for both wall and ceiling applications, this panel features 2 inches of mineral fiber insulation (R-8 value), specifically designed to reduce heat transfer during a fire event.
With its 1-inch exposed flange, the BIT-K offers a clean, professional finish that covers rough openings in masonry, tile, or drywall. The self-closing and self-latching mechanism ensures that the door remains securely closed to satisfy NFPA 80 compliance, while the internal knurled knob allows for easy manual release from the inside.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Certified Fire Rating: Independently tested for 1-1/2 hours in vertical wall applications and 3 hours in horizontal ceiling installations (up to 24" x 36").
- Insulated Core: Features 2-inch fire-rated mineral fiber insulation to prevent temperature rise and protect sensitive utility components.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with a 16-gauge steel frame and a 20-gauge steel door for long-term structural durability in commercial environments.
- Seamless Operation: Equipped with a flush continuous piano hinge and a self-closing mechanism to ensure the barrier is never accidentally left open.
- Professional Finish: Delivered with a high-quality White Powder Coat (WPC) finish, providing excellent corrosion resistance and a paint-ready surface.
Critical Sizing & Compliance Notes
- Wall & Ceiling Rated: All sizes from 8" x 8" to 24" x 36" are fire-rated for both walls and ceilings.
- Wall Rated Only: Oversized units from 24" x 48" to 48" x 48" are strictly fire-rated for wall applications only.
- Mounting Hardware: For secure installation into metal or wood studs, we recommend using high-strength thru-bolts to ensure the frame remains anchored during extreme thermal expansion.
