American Response Vehicles <br />15 <br />in deterring the stainless steel hinges from dissimilar metal corrosion. <br /> <br />COMPARTMENT CONSTRUCTION <br /> <br />MATERIALS: Unless specified otherwise, all exterior compartment walls and backs will be constructed of <br />.100 polished aluminum diamond plate. All compartment floors will be formed of .125 aluminum sheet. <br />Compartments for generators, oxygen, and backboards will have .250 compartment floors. All compartment <br />ceilings will be formed of .090 aluminum sheet. The ceilings and floors will form around the sides and back to <br />provide an overlapping joint. The floor and ceiling surfaces will be double action (DA) sanded to 180 grit. The <br />floors and ceilings are bonded to the walls and back and intermittent welded on six (6) inch centers. <br /> <br />DRAIN HOLES: Drain holes will be provided on the bottom of the compartments. Each hole will be baffled to <br />prevent splash water from entering the compartment. <br /> <br />COMPARTMENT DOOR PANEL: Unless specified otherwise, the inside door panel of the compartments will be <br />diamond plate. <br /> <br />COMPARTMENT FINISH: Unless specified otherwise, all exterior compartment walls and backs will be <br />constructed of .100 polished aluminum diamond plate. <br /> <br />RAIN DIVERTER: There will be installed an aluminum hat with open lower end inside of any compartment <br />door with louvered door ventilation, located directly behind the exterior outer punched louvers. <br /> <br />COMPARTMENT FLOOR CONFIGURATION: This compartment floor will be a sweep out type floor. The <br />compartment floor will be flush with the lower door jamb to facilitate compartment floor cleaning. The edge <br />of the compartment floor will be continuously welded to the lower door jamb. Heat generated from welding <br />will not distort the straightness or flatness of the jamb or compartment floor. The weld quality must be <br />aesthetically uniform. <br /> <br />COMPARTMENT FLOOR THICKNESS: The compartment floor will be .125 inch thick aluminum of single layer. <br /> <br />DOOR CHECK: The compartment door(s) in excess of 13" pass through width will be equipped with a door check <br />(hold open) device. All vertically hinged doors in excess of 13" pass through width will have a gas operated bi- <br />directional spring shock door check. Door check brackets will be drilled and tapped through a minimum of 3/8" <br />material to preclude coming loose. <br /> <br />DOOR SWING: The compartment door checks will be installed to allow the door to open ninety to 100 degrees <br />(90 up to 100) from the fully closed position. <br /> <br />VENTILATION: There will be a hole in the compartment below floor line approximately 5-3/8"wide x <br />2-9/32" tall that will accept a specially designed baffled vent. The baffles will have a stainless steel spring that <br />allow for only one way operation. They allow air to escape out of the compartment when the door is closed, <br />but not for air to come back into the compartment to keep dirt and dust out of the compartment interior.
