Actionair SmokeShield PTC - [AA/F10706]
Actionair FireShield - [AA/F10707]
Installation Method
1.
Drill clearance holes in the damper flange at 150mm
centres.
2.
Install the damper and fix through flange using fire
rated fasteners, min ø4mm.
3.
Back fill between damper casing and wall, with mine
-
ral/stone wool and secure in place with angle retaining
flanges, fixed in corners, or with Z shaped retaining
flanges, to give the option of face fixing onto wall.
Note: either angle or Z retaining flanges to be supplied
by others.
4. Note: dampers supplied with cleats welded to top
flange to assist with installation only.
5. 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 dam
-
pers installed in separate ducts and 75 mm between
fire damper and a construction element (wall/floor).
6. Alternative partition systems to those shown within
this installation manual can be used if they have been

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).

EXPLANATION:
2 Hour fire, smoke rating, & 2 hour fire integrity.
The damper must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations and HEVAC/HVCA publication HVC6/5/83 rev 1
APRIL 2002.
This solution has been assessed by BRE to BS476 PT 20 for 2 hours
and tested by BRE to BS-EN1366-2.
Acceptance of this solution must be sought by the system designer
(In writing) from the appropriate LA prior to installation.
Requirements for access openings for inspection and cleaning
purposes are provided in HVCA DW/144 specification for sheet metal
ductwork.
Access provision must be allowed to permit jointing of ducts to fire
damper. It may be necessary to install access doors on both sides of
the partition so that the ducts can be fitted from inside the damper.

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.
