Trash Chute Discharge Door – 20 Inch Round Diameter – Horizontal Rolling Guillotine Midland Style – By Pro Chutes

This is our most popular Horizontal Rolling Discharge Door (HRD) or sometimes called a Guillotine discharge door, and is mainly an outlet shoot door for an internal garbage solution.  The NFPA requires all internal chutes to have discharge doors that are held open by a fusible link, and this door fulfills that requirement.  All discharge doors need to be kept open at all times because if they were closed, they would create a blockage and backup of materials that would cause damage to the door, and also create a fire and smoke hazard.

This is a Type “D-HS”  20″ spring sliding discharge door and is equipped with a UL labeled 165-degree fusible link designed to melt when the ambient temperature of a fire reaches 165 degrees as per NFPA code.  Once the fusible link melts, the chute outlet door is released, and closes the opening of the chute, and prevents the fire from escaping up the shoot and up the home or building.

This 20 inch garbage chute outlet door comes by default in a round diameter, but we want to note that you can request that the opening be customized to a  square opening for an additional cost.  Contact us with any personalized requests.

COMPATIBLE: This spring loaded chute discharge door is a pan Midland style door and compatible with Midland Chutes, Western Chutes, and other manufactured rubbish, recycle, or compost chute systems to be used with compactors and recycling systems.  These doors are suitable for high rise buildings mainly, but sometimes it can be applied to a residential application if space allows it.  They are also used in hotels, motels, hospitals, condominiums, nursing homes, and apartment buildings as well.
