Is the Window Slider Limit Lock ASTM F2090 Approved?

Question

I need to add them to existing wooden windows to pass a code inspection.

Hello,

Unfortunately, the 26-275 isn't advertised as ASTM F2090 compliant. Also, please note that it is meant to be used on a horizontal sliding window. The lever simply lifts up to allow the sash to pass.

We do offer the 26-434 that meets the requirements of ASTM F2090-08 and ASTM F2090-10 for Window Fall Prevention Devices With Emergency Escape and (Egress) Release Mechanisms. This assembly is for double-hung vertical windows.

We also offer the 26-387 that has been tested and complies with the ASTM F2090-2008 and 2010 codes when properly installed. Take a look and see if one of these options might work for your application.
