The Fire-Rated Series from the Stratlock Range is a heavy-duty hidden panel mounting solution from Fastmount™ used to install heavyweight, large fire-retardant interior panels onto an aluminum or steel extrusion framework. The Stratlock Range is a purpose-built system that provides versatility for modular design with adjustable panel installation, thanks to its patent-pending dual locking function.
All products in the Fire-Rated Series conform with UL-94 with a V-0 rating, allowing installers to use the clips with fire-retardant panels or in areas where fire standards are enforced.
Components
| Fire-rated screw-fix male | SL-M18-FR |
| Fire-rated rapid-fit female-aluminum side-channel framework | SL-FA-FR |
| Fire-rated screw fix female – solid framework | SL-SFA-FR |
| Fire-rated rapid-fit female-steel extrusions | SL-FB-FR |
| Fire-rated rapid-fit female - solid substrates | SL-FC-FR |
Installation
- The SL-M18-FR features a double-detent shank which locks into the solid-style internal load chassis of the rapid-fit female (SL-FA-FR, SL-SFA-FR, SL-FB-FR) or the flush fit female (SL-FC_FR).
- Upon the first click, the panel is supported, with a 4mm tolerance in any direction to find the correct panel position while the female takes the weight.
- The second click then locks the panel into position, secured with an 18kg pull-out load per clip set and high shear strength.
Fastmount™ provides three female types with different framework compatibility. NB: Specific channel types will vary regionally, please see Fastmount™ Product Catalogue to determine suitability. All test reports are available via the Fastmount™ website.
