Seismic Curbs for Rooftop Equipment from Thybar

Article Tools

Severe wind loads or seismic activity occurs in many areas in the U.S. Thybar Seismic Curbs for rooftop HVACs are specifically designed to withstand these forces.

Each curb is manufactured to the seismic design criteria required by geographic location. Curbs for rooftop mounted equipment are quickly manufactured to precise specifications by Thybar Corporation. Each curb is custom manufactured due to the varying specifications of rooftop units and seismic requirements. Delivery is usually within weeks after receipt of the order.

Options include built-in filters, extra height for installation of sound traps beneath the unit, built-in roof pitch, and a pressure treated wood nailer. Curbs are all welded construction and are shipped to the job site in one piece if trucking permits. If unshipable as one piece, all corners are welded and the number of pieces are kept to a minimum. Thybar has a licensed P.E. on staff.
