Why Easy Comply?

Designed to bring protruding objects into compliance

Fire Extinguishers, defibrillators, hand sanitizers and other common surface mounted objects are often placed high off the floor to prevent accidental injury from bumping or dislodging when passing by. This is especially true in retail stores (shopping carts), healthcare facilities (gurneys) and other high traffic areas.

ADA Height & Protrusion Standards

Objects with leading edges more than 27 inches and not more than 80 inches above the finish floor or ground have a 4″ protrusion limit.

Cabinet Mounting Height Problems

Many extinguishers, AED machines, etc. are mounted above 27” off the ground in order to reduce the likelihood of shopping carts, gurneys, and small children from bumping into them and getting injured.

2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design Section 307.2 Protrusion Limits

NFPA 101 Egress Requirements

NFPA 101 Life Safety Code requires many healthcare facilities to comply with similar 4″ non-continuous object projection limits.

Limited Compliance Options

For objects that project more than the allowable 4″, recessing into cabinets may not be an option on structural columns and many types of surfaces. Lowering the objects below 27″ has been the only viable option to comply.

Why Vertical Extensions?

DIY Install brings objects into compliance without lowering in minutes

Fire Extinguishers, defibrillators, hand sanitizers and other common surface mounted objects are often placed high off the floor to prevent accidental injury from bumping or dislodging when passing by. This is especially true in retail stores (shopping carts), healthcare facilities (gurneys) and other high traffic areas.

4″ Projecting Object Rules

Unfortunately, when an object projects off of the surface more than 4″ and is mounted above a certain height, it is often not detectable by people who are visually impaired and can lead to injuries.

Easy Comply solutions (such as the Vertical Extension seen in the image) were designed to bring these objects into compliance in an easy and affordable way without the cost of professional installers!

The Secret of the Vertical Extension

The patent-pending living hinge design allows the extension to rotate 90⁰ in either direction if bumped by passing carts, gurneys or people, safely returning back to center every time. When mounted at 27” from the floor up to the bottom of an extinguisher, AED machine or any other surface mounted object projecting more than 4″ off the surface, the object can remain at any allowable height and still comply without impacting the flow of traffic.

01.

Signage / Placard

The Vertical Extension comes with preprinted options for Fire Extinguisher, Telephone, AED, Hand Sanitizer and blanks. This allows both safety and signage alerting passers by of the object installed above.

02.

Easy Installation

The back of the Vertical Extension has a strong adhesive to allow the extension to attached to dry wall, concrete, wood and many other surfaces for easy installation. In high traffic areas, screws can be used for extra strength.

02.

Patent-Pending Living Hinge

By mounting a Vertical Extension underneath any object, it can remain at any allowable height and still comply. In addition, the Vertical Extension can rotate 90 degrees in either direction and always return to center. This becomes important in retail environments where extinguishers are mounted higher, and often on columns throughout the store, to allow shopping carts to safely pass.

Installation is as simple as 1, 2, 3...

Determine Location

Mark the spot for the extension to be mounted.

Remove Protective Covering

Peel the protective covering off of the adhesive on the back of the extension.

Securely Mount

Affix the extension to the surface by firmly pressing adhesive to the surface.  Optionally, drill 4 holes and affix the extension to the surface with 4 screws for more secure mounting.

Why Cabinets?

Bring fire extinguishers into compliance without framing, patching or painting (DIY!)

Fire Extinguishers are often placed high off the floor to prevent accidental injury from bumping or dislodging when passing by. This is especially true in retail stores (shopping carts), healthcare facilities (gurneys) and other high traffic areas.
