Vinyl L-Bead with Compressible Foam
UltraBEAD, when used in conjunction with UltraTRAK slotted deflection track or Deep Leg deflection tracks, provides joint protection up to ¾” for a 1 or 2 HR concrete deck Head of Wall Joint System at 60% compression.
UltraBEAD creates an easy attachment that is attained with staples through the bead flange. Multiple perforations along the 1-1/8" flange enhance strong compound adhesion and the raised shoulder provides for a flush finish. Rigid vinyl is rust proof, dent resistant and easy to field cut without distorting the profile or leaving sharp edges and burrs. UltraBEAD is also available with Rip Bead® to create a crisp finished edge Composite Firestop/Framing for use in fire-resistant joint systems in or between fire-resistance-rated walls and floor/ceiling or roof/ceiling assemblies. Many assemblies can also be used in smoke barriers with tested air leakage (L ratings) well below the code defined maximum of 5 cfm per linear foot.
When used in conjunction with UltraTRAK or deep leg deflection track, the UltraBEAD is UL 2079-Fifth Edition compliant. Provides joint protection up to ¾” with various compression extension ratios per the listing.
U.S. Patent Number 11,725,401 and 11,486,150 on UltraBEAD.
