Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the BT12YP an under-counter cabinet?
The BT12YP is specifically designed at 35" height with a furniture-style kickplate to fit beneath standard lab and industrial countertops (typically 36" height). The back-wall mounted vents and single-door configuration make it ideal for built-in installation under fume hoods, lab benches, or industrial workstations.
How does the BT12YP differ from the full-size BM and BS flammable cabinets?
The BT12YP is a compact under-counter unit (12 gal, 35" tall, 1 door) designed for space-constrained environments. The BM and BS series are full-height freestanding cabinets (44–45 gal, 65" tall, 2 doors) for larger volume storage. Both share the same FM Approved double-wall construction and OSHA/NFPA Code 30 compliance.
What chemicals can be stored in the BT12YP?
The BT12YP is rated for Class I and Class II flammable liquids up to 60 gallons total per storage area, and Class III combustible liquids up to 120 gallons. Common examples include acetone, IPA, MEK, and other flammable solvents.
Why are the vents mounted on the back wall instead of the sides?
Back-wall vent placement allows the cabinet to be installed flush against a wall or under a counter without blocking the vents — important for under-counter configurations where side access may be restricted.
