Explosion Venting Fasteners

Explosion Venting Fasteners are high-performance safety devices specifically designed for explosion protection in buildings. They effectively and rapidly release internal pressure during an explosion, ensuring the safety of both structures and occupants. The system comprises explosion venting washers, screws, and positioning sleeves, rigorously tested to comply with FM 1-44 “Damage-Limiting Construction Standards”. It is recommended to pair the product with TKC-JS900 Traction Cables to prevent venting panels from detaching, further enhancing safety.

Product Features

  • FM Certification: Complies with FM 1-44 standards to meet high safety requirements.
  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for explosion venting windows, doors, walls, and roofs.
  • Patented Design: Bowl-shaped washers prevent premature deformation during installation.
  • Easy Installation: Secured with power drills, offering quick and convenient setup.
  • Custom Services: Provides explosion pressure calculation and area estimation services.
  • Enhanced Safety: Compatible with TKC-JS900 or LS-JS1800 traction cables to secure venting panels.

Product Components

  • Explosion Venting Washer (TKC-01): Lightweight aluminum washer bonded with black neoprene backing; brown color, 6.3mm (0.25 inch) inner diameter, 19mm (0.75 inch) outer diameter, breaking force of 700N.
  • Explosion Venting Screws: High-strength carbon steel, 6.3mm (0.25 inch) diameter, T30 Torx flat head, with self-drilling capability.
  • Positioning Sleeve: Durable rubber, 7mm inner diameter, 13mm (0.51 inch) outer diameter, 30mm length.
  • TKC-JS900 Traction Cable: SUS304 stainless steel, 6mm diameter, 900mm length, tensile strength >20kN.

Application Areas

TKC Explosion Venting Fasteners are widely used in:

  • Explosion Venting Windows and Doors: Quickly release pressure during explosions to protect structures and personnel.
  • Explosion Venting Walls and Roofs: Reduce internal pressure buildup and prevent structural damage.

Installation Overview

  1. Drilling and Positioning: Mark and drill holes on the panel (12mm diameter).
  2. Insert Positioning Sleeves (if applicable): Ensure sleeves are flush with the panel.
  3. Assemble Fasteners: Place the washer on the screw and align with the hole for fixation.
  4. Install Traction Cables (if needed): Securely attach cables to structural supports.
  5. Final Check: Ensure all fasteners and cables are correctly installed and firmly secured.

Maintenance Recommendations

  • Monthly Inspection: Check fasteners and washers for damage and verify sealing integrity.
  • Annual Testing: Perform performance tests on core components to ensure system stability.
  • Post-Explosion Maintenance: Replace all fasteners and re-test system integrity.
