Maintenance Procedure
These dampers are installed as a life-safe product and will require regular physical and visual examinations. It is essential
that that the assembly is kept in a clean, dust free condition at all times.
It is essential that an access door has been provided in the adjacent ductwork to facilitate the inspection and maintenance.
Ensure that no physical restriction of the blades has occurred during the installation process.
Remove any dirt or debris built up in the damper, apply a little WD lubricant or light oil, any excessive oils should be wiped
away.
Check the operation of any ancillary products that may be fitted.
Examine the fusible link to ensure that no corrosion has occurred and that the plates are free from distortion and are in good
condition to operate when required.
Close the blade pack by manual operation and examine the blades to ensure;
They are in the fully closed position and have located in the ramps.
They are all position in the frame correctly i.e. square to the frame.
They are all in a clean condition.
The period between maintenance checks can best be ascertained by system conditions or as directed by local regulations for
ventilation plant and ancillaries, but should not exceed a maximum interval in excess of twelve months.

Pre Installation Notes
1. Ensure that the damper is kept in a clean
dry environment and that there is no damage to the
damper.
2.
Remove all packaging and transit ties before
installation.
Installation Procedure
1. Vertical builders work barrier to have an appropriately
sized lintel and opening clearance for the fire damper
and Firebatt.
2. The opening in the wall must be cleaned, free of dust
and any other contaminants which could impair the
acrylic sealant. A clearance gap of 25mm (min) -
100mm (max) gap for the Firebatt must be maintained
around the fire damper (barrier contractor).
3. The damper shall be mounted so that the supported
side of the damper is flush with the wall opening. It
shall be hung by M10 drop rods using the slotted rail
and bolted tight to steel anchors in the slab or soffit
above.
4. The gap between the damper and the wall opening will
need filing in with 3 layers of 140kg/m3 50mm Firebatt
cut to interference fit and pushed in place.
5. All joints and gaps shall be sealed using intumescent
Acrylic Sealant.
6. The ductwork connecting to the damper spigots must
overlap by 40mm, leaving a 10mm clearance for any
duct expansion in a fire situation.
7. All ductwork connections must be sealed with an
approved ductwork sealer, and fixed with low
resistance fixings such as: aluminium alloy rivets or
nylon bolts.
8. All connecting ductwork must be independently
supported within 1meter of the connections.
9. An Access cover should be fitted on the appropriate
side of the barrier to enable inspections and
maintenance work.
