ClarkDietrich’s ProChannel Ci Meets NFPA 285 Fire-Rating Compliance

West Chester, OH - Following third-party evaluation by Priest & Associates Consulting, ClarkDietrich’s ProChannel Ci™ cladding support system has met NFPA 285 testing standards and has been approved for use in NFPA 285-compliant wall assemblies for Types I–IV construction.

ProChannel Ci was incorporated into a full-scale NFPA 285 test assembly containing combustible insulation and Nichiha fiber cement cladding panels, achieving full compliance with the test’s flame-propagation limits. Both the ProChannel Ci and ProChannel Ci Vertical systems are compliant.

ProChannel Ci with Grip-Deck TubeSeal ® provides a continuous insulation system with added benefits of thermal values, structural capacities, air and water penetration results, and now NFPA 285 compliance.
