Flammable Storage Cabinets
Justrite Flammable Liquid Safety Cabinets
Except in rare cases of natural catastrophe, every fire is preventative. Virtually every place of business has an occasion to use flammable or combustible liquids. Whether it is a manufacturing or processing plant, laboratory, or commercial institution, fire risks can be reduced by storing hazardous liquids in Justrite flammable liquid safety cabinets.
Flammable Cabinet Safety Features
Sturdy Cabinet Construction
Sturdy 18-gauge (1 mm) double wall steel fully welded (not riveted) construction with 1.5-in of insulating air space provides greater protection in a fire since air gaps are reduced. The fully-welded construction also holds squareness for a longer lifespan.
Corrosion Resistance
The durable, chemical resistant, lead-free powder-coat paint finish inside and out helps retain the high gloss look and minimizes the effects of corrosion and humidity.
Durable Door Hinges
All cabinet doors feature a continuous piano hinge to ensure smooth closure and even weight distribution, which makes it easier to open and close.
Innovative Door Features
Self-indexing cabinet doors feature an astragal lip that help seal the gap between the door, preventing moisture, debris and unauthorized access from affecting the contents inside. Rounded corners on Justrite safety cabinet doors help reduce accidental nicks and cuts.
Secure Closure
All cabinets have a stainless steel, 3-point bullet self-latching door system to provide fail-safe positive door closure with increased heat resistance.
Self-Indexing Doors
Cabinets with self-closing doors feature a patented, concealed self-close mechanism to provide obstruction-free access to the top shelf space. The self-indexing doors guarantee they will close in sequence and assure a tight closure from top to bottom.
State-of-the-Art Shelves
Patented SpillSlope® shelves are slightly sloped to direct spills to the back and bottom of leakproof sump. The shelves meet ANSI standards of 350 lbs. safe allowable loads. Welded shelf hangers interlock with shelves to offer safe, maximum non-slip stability without flimsy brackets, that adjusts on 3 inch centers.
Leakproof Sump
Cabinets feature a 2-in leakproof containment sump to hold and safely contain dangerous leaks and spills, meeting EPA regulations.
Prevent Unauthorized Use
Easily secure and protect your chemical contents with the flush U-Loc ™ handle that can be locked with included keys or accept a padlock for greater security. U-Loc handles do not require manual rotation to engage the mandatory 3-point latch.
Other safety cabinet features include:
- Fusible links (on self-close models) hold doors wide open and melt at 165 degrees F (74 degrees Celsius) for automatic closure in case of fire
- HazAlert™ reflective labels that warns of contents in English, French and Spanish
- Adjustable leveling feet to ensure stability, even on uneven surfaces
- Built-in grounding lug (on outside side panel) to accept optional antistatic grounding wire
Safety Cabinets with Self-Closing Doors – The Safest Option for Chemical Storage
Handling chemicals in the workplace can be a straightforward task with the right equipment. Justrite flammable safety cabinets with self-closing doors simplify this process remarkably. Not only are the self-closing doors safer in case of fire, it’s also easier to work with the cabinet doors open.
No need to prop them with something heavy, just use the fusible link as it was meant to operate. Installation is easy. While holding the door open, the user inserts the fusible link, then releases the door slowly. The link catches behind the hinge, creating tension that allows the door to remain open.
How to Use Fusible Links to Prop Cabinet Doors Open
Why Use Safety Cabinets with Self-Closing Doors?
Safest Option for Chemical Point of Use in the Workplace.
The fail-safe closing mechanism ensures three-point stainless steel bullet latching system works every time, removing the “human” element. The hidden self-closing feature ensures unobstructed access to the top shelf space, and the self-indexing doors ensure they close in the correct order, achieving a secure seal from top to bottom.
Keep Doors Open When Working with Chemicals
The self-closing doors are designed to automatically close, so when working out of the cabinet in the workplace, use the fusible link to prop doors open. If inadvertently left open in case of fire, the link will melt at 165 degrees F, slamming the doors shut to prevent fire from reaching the cabinet contents.
Meets All Fire Codes
Some states require using safety cabinets with self-closing doors, but not all of them. Since fire codes and regulations can vary by state, choosing a cabinet with self-closing doors is the only way to guarantee compliance with NFPA and IFC codes as well as authorities having jurisdiction.
Should Flammable Safety Cabinets Be Vented?
Justrite flammable safety cabinets are designed to meet NFPA 30 code requirements. All cabinets include dual vents with built-in flame arresters with bungs, usually located on the side of a cabinet: one high and one low. The vents typically accommodate a two-inch NPT threaded rigid steel pipe. Per NFPA, venting is not recommended unless the authority having jurisdiction requires it or if building owners require it for increased health and safety. In such cases, the NFPA standard recommends a thermally actuated damper, such as the Justrite Safe-T-Vent™ Thermally-Actuated Safety Cabinet Vent Damper, as the best way to ensure the performance of a ventilated safety cabinet during a fire.
