COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR SYSTEM LOADING
Important: Floor framing for a FR 14000 installation will
need to be designed and built to accept substantial dead loads
spread over a relative small floor area. The following weights
and sizes can be used to calculate loading. It is the contractor's
responsibility to provide adequate floor system load capacity.
