2. The connecting duct shall terminate at the integral sleeve <strong>and</strong> is connected<br />
by using either:<br />
(a) a minimum of 3 - #10 sheet metal screws spaced equidistant<br />
around the sleeve <strong>for</strong> 22” <strong>and</strong> smaller duct.<br />
(b) a minimum of 5 - #10 sheet metal screws spaced equisdistant<br />
around the sleeve <strong>for</strong> greater than 22” duct.<br />
(c) a 4” (101mm) drawb<strong>and</strong>.<br />
3. Clearance between the damper sleeve <strong>and</strong> the round or square wall opening<br />
shall be a minimum of 1/2” (13 mm) <strong>and</strong> a maximum of 1” (25 mm).<br />
4. Damper will be factory supplied with one retaining plate secured to the damper<br />
sleeve on the operator side of the damper.<br />
5. A minimum of 4 equally spaced 20 gauge galvanized steel clip angles<br />
shall be attached to both the integral sleeve <strong>and</strong> the retaining plate. The clip<br />
angles shall be attachewd with 1/8” (3.2mm) rivets, #10 x 1/2” (12.7mm) steel<br />
metal screws, bolts or welds. In metal stud/gypsum applications, the retaining<br />
plate may be in front of or behind the gypsum, directly against the metal studs.<br />
6A. Option 1: The damper may be installed in a wood/gypsum, steel<br />
stud/gypsum, or masonry fire partitition in the vertical or horizontal position<br />
(blade shaft running horizontal) with a retaining plate flush against each side<br />
of the fire partition. <strong>Installation</strong>: with the factory installed retaining plate flush<br />
to the fire partition, place another retaining plate on the opposite side of the<br />
damper sleeve <strong>and</strong> slide it <strong>for</strong>ward until it becomes flush with the opposite<br />
side of the partition. Place the Splice Clip over the cut portion of the<br />
retaining plate. Secure it with 4 - #10 sheet metal screws or rivets. Secure<br />
the clip angles to the retaining plate <strong>and</strong> damper sleeve as illustrated.<br />

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS<br />
6B. Option 2: The damper may also be installed in a steel stud/gypsum,<br />
or masonry wall, in a vertical position (blade running horizontal), with a<br />
retaining plate on one side of the wall. <strong>Installation</strong>: with the factory installed<br />
retaining plate flush to the fire wall, place 8 screws (#10 sheet metal <strong>for</strong><br />
steel studs long enough to penetrate the metal stud by 1/2” minimum or<br />
#10 x 1-1/4” masonry screws) equidistant around the perimeter of the<br />
retaining plate. Screws are placed in each corner <strong>and</strong> halfway between the<br />
corners as shown.<br />
7. Electrical <strong>and</strong>/or pneumatic connections to damper actuators (if applicable)<br />
should be made in accordance with wiring <strong>and</strong> piping diagrams developed<br />
in compliance with applicable codes, ordinances <strong>and</strong> regulations.<br />
8. Refer to the installation instruction <strong>for</strong> Drywall Type Construction <strong>for</strong> the<br />
material <strong>and</strong> opening framing details.<br />

Manufacturer’s Recommendations<br />
All moving parts of the damper must be inspected <strong>and</strong> cycled at intervals not greater than every six months <strong>and</strong> in accordance with<br />
the latest edition of NFPA 90A, 92A, local codes <strong>and</strong> the actuator manufacturer. In addition, fuse links shall be removed <strong>and</strong> inspected<br />
<strong>for</strong> corrosion. Dry lubricants are recommended.<br />
