Vertical Damper, Alblative Batt in a
Plasterboard Wall
Actionair SmokeShield PTC - [AA/F10710]
Actionair FireShield - [AA/F10711]
Installation Method
1. Mark out the hole on the partition and cut it out, cut-
ting the top and bottom edges first to maintain stabi
-
lity.
2. Frame out the hole with stud and track and cover this
with 2 layers of board. Finish edges with joint filler.
3.
Rivet steel duct (by others) to damper spigot on non-
access side, using steel rivets.
4. Suspend the damper from the ceiling, using 10mm
studding drop rods, and support the damper from
lateral movement.
5. Make sure the area within the aperture and the
damper casing is free from any debris and remove any
dust.
6. Where the coated BATT will contact the surrounding
aperture apply Rockwool Fire pro glue to the outer
edges of the BATT. Where two coated BATTS are in
contact use Rockwool fire pro glue as the joint adhe
-
sive. In both cases ensure that an even cover is achie-
ved over the entire thickness of the BATT.
7. Continue installation of Rockwool ablative coated
BATT, until aperture is completely filled.
8.
Apply a bead of Rockwool acoustic intumescent sealant

Description:
If your proposed installation details
differ from that shown here, please
discuss this with the Building Control Authority
(BCA), referencing this documentation,
associated fire tests, assessments, and other
documentation shown below. Deviation from
this drawing requires the approval of the
relevant authority.
Installation Detail
Connecting ductwork omitted for clarity.
Ductwork must be independently supported.
There must be an appropriate break-away
joint between the damper and connecting
ductwork on both sides of assembly.
Aluminium rivets or plastic cleats, clips,
clamps and bolts etc. should be used for this,
unless fire resisting ductwork is being used
where fire resisting fixings should be used. A
minimum of 200 mm between fire dampers
installed in separate ducts and 75 mm
between fire damper and a construction
element (wall/floor).

to both sides of the wall, approximately 15mm wide,
around the perimeter of the aperture between dry wall
and BATT, ensuring that any gaps between the BATT
and surrounding edges are fully filled.
9.
Allow 12 hours for BATT penetration seal to cure prior
to removing any lateral damper supports.
10. Alternative partition systems to those shown within
this installation manual can be used if they have been
shown by test to have at least the same fire resistance
when tested to BS EN 1364-1:1999 as is required of
the damper. If the partition system has been success-
fully tested without stone mineral wool it does not
have to be used in practice when only considering the
fire performance of the complete system. The mineral
wool may still be needed for other reasons e.g. acous-
tic performance.
11. Connecting ductwork omitted for clarity. Ductwork
must be independently supported. There must be an
appropriate break-away joint between the damper and
connecting ductwork on both sides of assembly. Alu-
minium rivets or plastic cleats, clips, clamps and bolts
etc. should be used for this, unless fire resisting duct-
work is being used where fire resisting fixings should
be used. A minimum of 200 mm between fire dampers
installed in separate ducts and 75 mm between fire
damper and a construction element (wall/floor).
12. For SmokeShield installations, please reference the
actuator installation information on page 11.
