Architects and engineers can now confidently specify ProChannel Ci for projects that require fire-tested, code-compliant façade assemblies. Following a third-party evaluation by Priest & Associates Consulting, ClarkDietrich’s ProChannel Ci™ cladding support system has met NFPA 285 testing standards and has been approved for use in NFPA 285-compliant wall assemblies for Types I–IV construction.
ProChannel Ci was incorporated into a full-scale NFPA 285 test assembly containing combustible insulation and Nichiha fiber cement cladding panels, achieving full compliance with the test’s flame-propagation limits. Both the ProChannel Ci and ProChannel Ci Vertical systems are compliant. To learn more about the assembly with Nichiha, click here.
ProChannel Ci with Grip-Deck TubeSeal ® provides a true continuous insulation system with added benefits of thermal values, structural capacities, air and water penetration results, and now NFPA 285 compliance. Review these documents at ProChannel Ci™ | ClarkDietrich Building Systems.
