Solution #1
• Oval Brand extinguishers enable a fully
recessed, flush door, non-fire rated cabinet
to fit into a 2-1/2” metal stud partition and
6” masonry.
• Keeping walls at their standard depth saves a
minimum of three square feet of usable
space per Oval Brand fire extinguisher.
• U.S. Patent Nos. 9,364,696, D760,443,
D760,444 for extinguishers. U.S. Patent No.
D777,566 for bracket.
• Cabinets now available from JL Industries in
a fully array of options.

Problem #2
• All currently manufactured round 5lb & 10lb ABC fire extinguishers
violate the 4” protruding object limit when surface mounted with the
bottom edge higher than 27” above the floor
• This regulation is part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
ANSI/ICC A117.1, and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act
(AODA)
• The IFC® INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE® also states “Section 1003.3.3
Horizontal projections. Structural elements, fixtures or furnishings shall
not project horizontally from either side more than 4 inches (102 mm)
over any walking surface between the heights of 27 inches (686 mm)
and 80 inches (2032 mm) above the walking surface”
• The new international accessibility standard ISO 21542 limits objects
higher than 11.8” to protruding no greater than 4”. This presents a large
international opportunity
Protruding Object Violation – Greater than 4”

Solution #2
Only Oval Brand extinguishers never protrude more than 4”
when surface mounted!

Solution #3
The Solution – The Oval Button Hook
(U.S. Patent No. D777,566)

and fall when bumped into.

Problem #4
• Almost all currently manufactured
standpipe hose connections (aka
standpipe outlet valves) protrude greater
than 4” as installed.
• The protruding object limit is part of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
ANSI/ICC A117.1, the Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA),
ISO 21542, and the International Fire
Code (IFC).
• Per NFPA guidelines the valve handle and
snoot must be located between 36” and
60” above the floor.
Protruding Object Violation – Greater than 4”
17. 17
Problem #4
• The valve in the photo is protruding
over 14” from the column into the
path of emergency egress.
• This valve was hit by a forklift and the
handle is broken. Sometimes valves or
pipe couplings break, and water
damage follows.
• This type of damage is a common
occurrence in warehouses,
manufacturing facilities, and big-box
retail.
Forklift Damage

Solution #4
The Solution – The Oval Standpipe Outlet Valve
• Protrudes less than 4 Inches!
• Large retrofit opportunity.
• Once it enters the market, a “Readily Achievable”
solution now exists. All non-compliant valves will be
required to be retrofitted.
• The Oval Brand valve has potential to render all other
standpipe hose outlet valves obsolete.
• Meets National Recognized Testing Laboratory,
(NRTL) published design requirements.
• Not NRTL listed…yet. Will be submitted to NRTL for
testing and listing this year.
• U.S. Patent No. 9,555,272
