ADA COMPLIANT Barrier Free Transitions meet the requirements of ADA Standards for Accessible Design and ICC/ANSI A117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities.

POSITIVE PRESSURE CERTIFIED by UL to ANSI/UL10C; complies with IBC, NFPA 80 and NFPA 252 for application to Hollow Metal fire doors rated up to 3 Hrs., and Wood Fire doors rated up to 90 minutes.

CERTIFIED by UL to CAN/ULC-S104 and ANSI/UL10B; complies with NFPA 80 and NFPA 252 for application to Hollow Metal fire doors rated up to 3 Hrs., and Wood fire doors rated up to 90 minutes.

Air Infiltration Tested to ASTM E283, Standard Test Method for Determining Rate of Air Leakage Through Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors.

SLIP-RESISTANT 'SIA' textured surface is available on all transitions. Our process embeds and fuses bits of hot nickel and titanium into the surface of the transition. This technology originally developed for use on aircraft carrier decks is very skid resistant and will not wear off.

ANSI/BHMA CERTIFIED. Certified transitions comply with American National Standard for Transitions ANSI/BHMA A156.21 and are listed in the BHMA Certified Products Directory.

Materials

Transitions are Aluminum Alloy 6063, T5 temper, unless noted. Cover Plates 818, 814 and 828 are Aluminum Alloy 3003, H14 hardness. Cover Plate 838 is Aluminum Alloy 5052, H32 hardness.

Architectural Bronze Transitions are Alloy CDA 385 (Copper Alloy No. C38500), Architectural Bronze. Brass Cover Plate 818BR is Alloy CDA 260 (Copper Alloy No. C26000) cold formed Cartridge Brass.

Stainless Steel Transitions and Cover Plates are Type 304; known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high tensile strength and resistance to oxidation.

Slip Resistant Finish

SIA (Slick It Ain't) finish is our slip resistant textured surface, available on all transitions up to 24" wide and on 818 aluminum and brass cover plates up to 10" wide.

Our SIA technology embeds bits of hot nickel and titanium into the surface of the transition using a high pressure thermo-electrostatic process. It was originally developed for use on aircraft carrier decks. SIA finish is very durable and will not wear off.

This results in a slip resistant surface that is similar to high grit sandpaper.

Aluminum and Stainless Steel SIA finish transitions are a pewter color. Architectural Bronze SIA finish transitions are a brass color.

Powder Coat Finish

Powder Coat finish is available on most transitions upon request. Consult factory for custom color matching.

Custom Fabricated Transitions

Our Custom Fab dept. specializes in producing custom made-to order transitions to your specifications. Submit your details to our technical dept. for a quotation and drawing for your approval. Components are used to build special assemblies like the one illustrated below. Aluminum, Brass and Stainless Steel Cover Plates are also custom formed and welded to meet special requirements.

Sports Floor Transition Assemblies

Wood gymnasium sports floors are designed to be free floating. We offer transition assemblies to cover the transition from the primary floor to the sports floor. As the sports floor shifts, the transition assembly will allow expansion and contraction by the top plate moving with the sports floor.

8133 x 8143 x 8168N (Neoprene) x 8139 x 10-24 MS/LA

Also available in 1/2" high and in other widths - contact NGP Technical Department

Edge Components

All transitions this page 10C

Choose from various height and width components to build custom transitions to meet special job requirements. For assistance contact our tech support team.

Select the proper height edge components. Select the appropriate center plates to construct the width needed. Plates may be butted together or ripped to make specific widths. Support joints and wider spans with bar supports.

Transition assembly plates may be used fluted or smooth side up. Slip-resistant SIA finish can be applied to all parts.

Transition assembly components may be ordered separately for field assembly or welded into one piece units in our custom fabrication shop. They are supplied undrilled unless a template is provided. Ripping and beveling options are available. All custom fabricated assemblies have a tolerance of +/- 1/16".

If a welded assembly is desired, specify "welded".
