Pre-Installation Guidelines....2 Installation Breakaway Connections...5 Damper Maintenance...6 Damper Troubleshooting...6 Installation for Steel Stud Connection Option Pre-Installation Guidelines The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the fire damper in, not to, the opening in such a manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. This is accomplished by allowing the fire damper in rated separation openings to expand and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the collapse of the hanging system. The following items will aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and effective manner. 1. Check the schedules for proper damper locations within the building. Visually inspect the damper for damage and verify that the fusible link is in place or has not separated. If fusible link is not present or has separated, replace link. Never install a fire damper without the proper UL approved fusible link in place. (Fusible link is standard control option. An electric link may have been provided.) 2. Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. 3. Install damper accordingly to comply with manufacturer s appropriate UL procedure file number. 4. Damper must be installed into duct or opening square and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. 5. Damper must be kept clean and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and after installation. Examples of such foreign materials include, but are not limited to: a. Mortar dust b. Drywall dust c. Firesafing materials d. Wall texture e. Paint overspray 6. Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray of spray-on insulating, wall texturing, or spray painting when performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits can cause damper to bind and not operate properly. 7. Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between the damper sleeve and the wall or floor opening (annular space). However, caulking may be applied to the retaining angles. 8. ACCESS: Suitable access (such that fusible links can be changed) must be provided for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer to NFPA 90A). 9. The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must evaluate and provide approval of final installation where variations to these instructions are necessary. 2

3 Installation - Failure to follow these instructions will void all warranties. These instructions apply to hour rated fire dampers mounted in masonry, block or stud walls and concrete floors. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. These instructions meet the requirements of UL 555. Installation shall comply with the requirements of NFPA 90A Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems. U.L. listing R13317, California State Fire Marshal listings :102, and New York City BSA/MEA listing M as they apply to these dampers. 1. NO ADDITIONAL SLEEVES ARE REQUIRED The fire damper extended frame is an approved sleeve and can be properly installed without the need for a supplemental field installed sleeve. Damper frame shall extend a maximum of 6 in. beyond the wall or floor opening on each side. 2. CLEARANCES REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRE DAMPER SLEEVES AND WALL/FLOOR OPENINGS Fire damper assemblies expand during periods of intense heat. Therefore, it is essential that openings in walls or floors be larger than the fire damper assembly to allow for this expansion. Minimum clearances required between the outside of fire damper sleeve assemblies and wall/floor openings are: Galvanized steel fire dampers and sleeves: 1/8 in. per linear foot of damper width and height with a minimum clearance of 1/4 in. Recommended clearances, for width and/or height dimensions of: 1) 48 in. or less: 1/2 in. clearance 2) More than 48 in. and 96 in. or less: 1 in. clearance 3) More than 96 in.: 1 1 /2 in. clearance These are total clearances (ignoring fastener heads) and do not need to be equally spaced around the damper. Refer to Section 3 and Figure 2 for additional installation considerations. Example: A 12 in. x 12 in. damper would require a minimum clearance of 1/4 in. A 48 in. x 12 in. damper would require a minimum clearance of 1/2 in. on width and 1/4 in. on height. 3. SECURING THE FIRE DAMPER TO WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS Fire damper assemblies must be installed in wall and floor openings using retaining angles on each side of the wall or floor as described below: Retaining angles must be a minimum of 16 gauge steel and have a minimum of in. x in. legs. Retaining angles must be attached to the damper using one or more of the following methods of attachment: tack or spot welds #10 sheetmetal screws 1/4 in. bolts and nuts 3/16 in. steel pop rivets Attachments must be spaced a maximum of 6 in. on center and a maximum of 2 in. from corners. The angles must be attached to all 4 sides of the sleeve with butt joints at each corner. A minimum of two attachments are required on each side, top and bottom. The angles need not be attached to each other at the corners. Retaining angles must completely cover the clearance space between the damper and the wall/floor opening, plus overlap the wall/floor a minimum of 1 in. This coverage includes all corners (see Figure 2). Retaining angles should not be fastened to the wall/floor material. The angles should only sandwich the wall/floor and allow for damper expansion during periods of intense heat. Figure 2: Retaining angle installation. 3

4 4. CONNECTING DUCTS TO THE FIRE DAMPER All duct connections to FD & DFD 150X series extended frame dampers must be breakaway type connections. All connections shown on page 6 are considered breakaway. Factory furnished duct collars on types R & CR fire dampers are also considered breakaway (see Figure 1). 5. MULTIPLE SECTION FIRE DAMPERS When multiple sections are shipped unassembled, installer shall fasten dampers together as described in Section 3. Table 1 shows maximum sizes for multiple section damper. Damper Model Maximum Sizes for Single-Section Dampers Max Overall Size for Multi-Section Dampers 96 x 48 FD-150X (H or V) 48 x 48 or 120 x x 48 DFD-150X (V) 36 x 36 or 60 x 60 DFD-150X (H) 30 x x 36 Figure 3: Preparation detail for opening in stud wall. Note: V=Vertical Mount & H= Horizontal Mount Table 1: Maximum sizes for single and multi-section dampers. Recommended Preparation of Openings in Wood and Metal Stud Walls Frame wall openings as shown in Figure 3. Double vertical studs are not required for openings 36 in. x 36 in. or smaller. Gypsum wall board must be fastened 12 in. on center to all stud and runner flanges surrounding opening (see Figure 4). All construction and fasteners must meet the requirements of the appropriate wall design. (See UL Fire Resistance Directory) Figure 4: Detail of retaining angles and gypsum board application for metal and wooden stud construction. 4

5 Breakaway Connections Traditional Breakaway Style Transverse Joints Transverse joints illustrated in Figure 5 have always been approved as breakaway connections. SMACNA testing has also approved the following variations as breakaway connections. Standing S joints can be applied with #10 sheet metal screws (through joint and duct) subject to the following limitations: Maximum 2 screws in each side and in bottom joint. Transverse joints illustrated can be applied as top and bottom joints with Drive Slip - side joints in duct heights up to 20 in. Round and Oval Breakaway Connections Round or flat oval ducts connected to factory supplied Type R, CR, or CO damper collars may use #10 sheet metal screws as follows: s 22 in. wide (or dia.) and smaller may use 3 screws. s larger than 22 in. wide (or dia.) may use 5 screws.

6 Damper Maintenance Dampers shall be maintained, cycled, and tested in intervals as stated in the latest editions of NFPA 90A, 92A, and UL 864 unless local codes require more frequent inspections. Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminant s such as dust. Damper Trouble Shooting The following is a cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers. Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action Frame is racked causing blades to Adjust frame such that it is square bind on jamb and plumb Damper does not fully open and/or Screws in damper linkage Locate screws and remove fully close Contaminant s on damper Clean with a non-oil-based solvent (see Damper Maintenance) Link separated Heat Replace link Installation for Steel Stud Connection (SSC) Option These instructions apply to 1 1 /2 hour rated fire dampers mounted in steel stud walls. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. These instructions meet the requirements of UL 555. Installation shall comply with the requirements of NFPA 90A Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems. U.L. listings R13317 and R13743, California State Fire Marshal listings :102 and :101, and New York City BSA/MEA listing M as they apply to these dampers. 1. NO ADDITIONAL SLEEVES OR ANGLES ARE REQUIRED The fire damper extended frame is an approved sleeve and the Steel Stud Connection (SSC) Option allows fastening of the fire damper sleeve directly to the wall's steel stud framing. Damper frame shall extend a maximum of 6 in. beyond the wall opening on either side. Maximum size fire damper that may be installed using this SSC option is 36 in. W x 36 in. H. 2. INSTALLATION Fire damper with SSC option must be in place before the wall is constructed or it can be installed as the wall is being constructed. Wall opening is framed around the fire damper before sheet rock or other wall board material is applied to the steel studs. This installation provides appropriate protection for duct penetrations in fire resistant wall construction using steel studs with a fire resistance rating less than 3 hours.
