The Redlam Replacement Ceramic Tube is a vital sacrificial component designed specifically for use with Redlam fire exit panic bolts. It serves as the primary locking mechanism that secures the bolt in the closed position, ensuring the integrity of emergency exits while allowing for rapid egress when required.

During an emergency, the tube is designed to be broken using the hammer attached to the panic bolt assembly. Upon impact, the ceramic material shatters cleanly, allowing the spring-loaded bolt to retract or drop, thereby releasing the door. The ceramic construction is specifically engineered to break in a manner that reduces the risk of injury to the operator compared to traditional glass alternatives.

These tubes are essential for restoring a fire exit to a secure state following an emergency activation or routine maintenance testing. They are compatible with standard Redlam bolt housings and are typically used in commercial, industrial, and public buildings where secure yet accessible fire exits are mandatory.

FAQs

This ceramic tube is specifically designed as a replacement part for standard Redlam Panic Bolts. It serves as the sacrificial component that holds the bolt in place until an emergency occurs.

The tube is positioned within the Redlam bolt housing to keep the door secured. In the event of an emergency, the tube is broken by a strike from the attached mallet, which instantly releases the bolt and allows the door to be opened.

Ceramic tubes are often preferred in environments where safety is a high priority, such as food preparation areas or schools. When broken, ceramic tends to produce less sharp fragments compared to traditional glass alternatives.

This mechanism ensures that fire exits remain secure against unauthorised entry while remaining fully functional for life safety applications.

Constructed from a specific ceramic compound, these tubes provide consistent breaking characteristics to prevent jamming or failure during critical moments. They are typically installed in commercial, industrial, and public buildings where emergency exit security is a priority. These tubes are intended as direct replacements for broken or used units, ensuring your fire safety hardware is returned to full working order immediately after an event or test.
