BILCO PRODUCT LISTING

Bilco Automatic Fire Vents

A fire vent can be installed in manufacturing centers, warehouses and auditoriums. It is designed to open automatically when a specially designed fusible link melts from the heat of the fire. This, in turn, triggers an electronic opening of the vent, which allows the smoke, heat, or toxic gases to escape the structure. The vents can also be opened manually to furnish the building with proper ventilation. Standard, in-stock units are fabricated from either steel or aluminum and can incorporate polycarbonate domes to effectively provide additional lighting. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approve every vent as well as Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FM). The unique aspect of Bilco vents is the patented Thermolatch positive hold/release mechanism. This provides the user with the peace of mind that the vent will properly function in the event of a fire or explosion, and that the vent will not open unintentionally due to high winds or other unforeseen factors such as an earthquake. Specially designed vents are available with options such as rigged or motorized openings, various insulation alternatives, special finishes, security features, and acoustical vents that are suited for venues where clear sound is imperative. Contact your Dalco sales rep for additional information on this exceptional product.

Bilco Bil-Guard Rail System

The Bil-Guard fixed railing system provides a permanent means of fall protection for hatch openings. High visibility yellow color helps ensure extra safety. Each unit meets and exceeds OSHA fall protection regulations (29 FR 1910.23.) Each unit features a Standard self-closing gate feature. Bil-Guard models are available for most roof hatch and automatic fire vent sizes.

Bilco Floor, Vault, and Sidewalk Doors

When equipment is stored between floors or underground, a Bilco floor or vault door may be the solution for access to those apparatuses. Or perhaps access to an existing room or space is needed. Bilco doors, like their roof hatch counterparts, are the highest standard in the industry. Combining simple operation and sturdy construction, a Bilco door will provide years of worry- free use. Every single Bilco door integrates custom designed lifting devices to counterbalance the cover, the size and weight of the door notwithstanding. A variety of doors are available from Bilco, with various sizes (single and double leaf), load capacities, drainage options, security features, motorized units, and other specially engineered units. Specialty doors are available to match any environment, from the upscale with a vibrant tile or carpet pattern, to the minimal for a loading dock or sidewalk. Bilco doors are featured throughout the world: in extravagant hotels, posh office buildings, blue- collar factories, airport terminals and runways, extensive subway systems, hospitals, and schools both large and small. Contact Dalco with your specs and we can get your door, custom or in- stock, started on its way.

Bilco Ladder-Up Safety Post

Bilco’s Ladder-Up Safety Post provides an extra measure of safety to a roof hatch, vault, or manhole access. The post simply mounts to the top two ladder rungs on any standard fixed ladder or manhole rungs and locks into an upright position. In this position the extended post allows personnel to stabilize their climb in or out of the hole. Upon shutting the lid or closing the manhole, the extension retracts into the tubular shaft of the post with a simple pull of a release lever. The LadderUp is available in standard black enamel, galvanized steel, stainless, and aluminum.
