Fabrilok makes these, but I am stumped as to where it belongs in MF04. Looking through the book, it looks like a 10 44 00 Fire Protection Specialty, but would most likely need a new number. Or do I venture into 23 51 13 Draft Control Devices? It doesn't really fit in either location.

MF2004 has 07-8000 as Fire and Smoke Protection Colin Gilboy Publisher, 4specs.com 435.654.5775 - Utah 800.369.8008 Rich Gonser AIA CSI CCCA Senior Member Username: gonserarch Post Number: 21 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - 11:19 am:    The section 08 3400 Special Function Doors seems more appropriate to me.

Colins suggestion works well, and since it's on 4specs, it's as good as the MF04 book to me.

"Includes grilles and screens of wood, metal, plastic and other materials connected to permanent construction and used for a variety of purposes."

Coming from an Engineering/Transportation specifier... I would create a new number/title under either of the groups 34 73 00 Airfield Construction or 34 77 00 Transportation Equipment. IMHO, Divisions 34 and 35 still need more work by the Committee but these would be the closest to your needs for now. Karen L.

Like a train station, airport terminal, or warehouse, a hanger is still just a building with a particular purpose. But I also think that these are definitely not Division 08 items. Probably belong in Division 10 as a specialty.
