Loos Seismic Bracing Recertified by the California Fire Marshal

Naples, FL, May 6, 2022 —Loos & Co., Inc. Cableware® Division proudly announces recertification of its seismic cable bracing solutions by the California Office of the state Fire Marshal. Along with listings from UL, ICC, and FBC, this important designation by the state of California further separates Loos & Company’s seismic bracing cable, cable assemblies, and hardware as the highest quality and most reliable products in the industry.

Earthquake damage to buildings has resulted in billions of dollars in damage. Much of it related to fires and water damage caused by failures in electrical, gas, and plumbing that were not equipped to survive a seismic event. Loos & Company’s easy to install seismic cable bracing is the best economic solution on the market to protect critical systems from seismic damage.

James Pierro, Product Line Manager for Loos Cableware® noted “This listing tells project managers and contractors that Loos & Co., Inc. seismic products have been tested and approved to strict industry standards and provides lifesaving benefits in fire protection. Knowing these products help save lives and valuable infrastructure is a great source of pride for Loos & Company and we are excited about California Office of the state Fire Marshall listing.
