OVAL low profile fire extinguisher

We are excited to introduce a new low profile Fire extinguisher. The OVAL Brand Low Profile Fire Extinguishers are revolutionary in their design as they have solved several problems that have been an ongoing problem for many years. Oval Brand is the only fire extinguisher which always complies with the ADA, ICC and the IFC protruding object requirements when surface mounted. Due to its slim design, it can easily fit into a standard 2 x 4 wall without using a semi-recessed or surface mounted extinguisher cabinet. Flush cabinets are now always an option. When surface mounted with its proprietary hook, it only protrudes 3 1/2 inches from the wall making it blind, low-vison and wheelchair friendly. It also has a proprietary hook making it almost impossible to knock it off the wall.
Cabinets are optional due to the unique flat shape and shallow depth of the Oval Brand fire extinguisher; a recessed cabinet is not required to comply with ADA, AODA, ANSI, ICC, IFC and ISO protruding object limits. 
The OVAL Extinguishers are available in three models. The 10 JABC is best suited for hanging in an OVAL Fire Extinguisher Cabinet, also available at https://www.ebuildingproducts.com  The 10 HABC is best used as a surface mounted extinguisher with Proprietary hook.  And the 10 HPKP (Purple K) designed for high-performance use on Class B & C fires.

Karp Concealed Access Doors


Concealed Access Doors are the latest trend in construction. Architects and building owners like the new look of concealed seamless access doors where you can hardly see them without knowing where they are installed.

What makes an access door appear to disappear ?  Make it with the same materials as the ceiling it is being installed in, gypsum.

Currently there are two methods to achieve this stealth-like invisibility. You can have a gypsum drywall insert  or make the door out of gypsum and fiberglass.

Insert model RDW. This style is recessed to accept a 5/8 inch piece of drywall. The drywall
should be attached with drywall adhesive and 1.25 inch self drilling drywall screws. RDW Data Sheet Submittal

Insert model RDWPD is an improved version of the RDW as it has the  5/8 inch drywall installed by the factory. This makes for a faster and cleaner install. The door is secured by screwdriver latches.

Insert model  KAD model. This is a door with  the 5/8 inch drywall insert factory installed and it has a touch latch. The frame is made of Aluminum and the door can be removed for maximum clearance.
