18" x 18" BA-DLFRZ-G Fire-Rated Adjustable Z-Blade Gray Door Louver - Best 

Standard door louvers can lead to code violations when they don’t meet required fire standards, compromising building compliance. Many fire-rated options are difficult to install, causing delays and security concerns. The BA-DLFRZ-G is a UL-rated, adjustable louver with a fusible link that can be installed from the room side. It complies with fire regulations, including UL10C, UBC7-2-94, ASTM E152, CAN/ULC S104, and NFPA 252. 

The BA-DLFRZ-G is a fire-rated "Z" blade louver designed for 1-3/4-inch steel and composite fire doors. It offers up to 1.5 hours of fire resistance. Made from durable cold-rolled or zinc-plated steel, it features a self-attaching frame for easy installation from the room side, reducing installation time. 

It provides 45% adjustable airflow and includes a fire-activated fusible link that melts at 165°F, automatically closing the blades to help contain fire and smoke. This solution meets UL and Intertek standards and is available in a standard gray powder coat with other color options.
