Rack Hat™

The Rack Hat™ containment system separates hot and cold airflow by partitions mounted from the drop-ceiling grid. The partitions form a rectangle around the aisle. Aluminum tracks are mounted to the drop-ceiling grid as a means to attach a
drop down material. Fire resistant clear vinyl or FM 4910 listed material is hung from the aluminum track. The drop-down material hangs down from the aluminum track to the top of the rack, which forms a barrier between hot and cold airflow.
The aluminum track is connected to the ceiling with three links: a 360° sliding ball, a thermal link and a twist ceiling grid attachment.
The fire resistant vinyl drop-down material overlaps where the aluminum track is connected to create one continuous
partition.
The aluminum track is design with a continuous running top slider so that a connection to the ceiling can be made at any
point along the track

The aluminum track is designed to link together with a center splicer so as to create one continuous track system.

 

The Rack Hat™ is a MODULAR ASSEMBLY SYSTEM that ships in standard sized kits. Each kit comes with all the material necessary to cover a specific area. Kits have two important measurements:

1 — Linear Feet – Length of aluminum track that attaches to the ceiling grid.

2 — Drop down inches – length of fire resistant vinyl that drops from the aluminum track to the top of the rack.

Each kit connects together with both an aluminum splicer and a 1-inch vinyl overlap. Drop down lengths range from24 inches to well over 10 feet.

  • Length of aluminum track
  • One connecting splicer
  • Fusible fire suppression ceiling links
  • Drop-down material in the length of the aluminum track, plus one inch for overlap (the drop-down length is determined by ceiling to cabinet height)

 

How to Design Containment

Containment systems are designed to form a rectangle around the aisle (hot or cold). The Rack Hat™ comes in kits with two key measurements: 1) Length (in feet) of aluminum support track 2) Length (in inches) of the drop down material.

Starting at one corner of the rectangle determine how many kits are required to cover an area of the same drop down length. Adjust to different kit sizes to fit drop down lengths of a different size.

The fire resistant vinyl comes in these standard drop-down sizes:

25, 52, 94, 108, 120, 144, 180 (inches). The aluminum track comes in 1-6 feet.
