FireLite Plus® WS is a nominal 5/16” (8 mm) thick laminated glazing material listed for use in doors, sidelites, transoms and borrowed lites. When acceptable to the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), FireLite Plus WS may be used in combination with TYCO Model WS Window Sprinklers as an alternative to fire rated assemblies requiring a 2-hour rating. Unlike tempered glass, using FireLite Plus WS glazing eliminates TYCO’s WS Special Application Sprinkler requirement for keeping combustible materials a minimum of 2" from the glass face (typically accomplished by incorporating a minimum 36" ponywall).
