Vertical Damper Installation (Top 

Flange Remo ved) In A Masonry Wall 

Under Concrete Slab 

Actionair SmokeShield - [AA/F12493]
Actionair FireShield - [AA/F12827]

Installation Method

1. Measure the overall Fire damper casing size width x 

height,  but for Smoke Shield  include the PTC Shroud 

(28mm) in the width but do not include any of the 

peripheral flange.

2. Calculate hole size...
3. 

For Fire Shield calculate the finished hole size by adding 

10-80mm to the case width and 5-40mm for the 

height as the head of the damper will be against the 

slab.

4. 

For Smoke Shield calculate the finished hole size adding 

10-57mm to the width and 5-30mm to the height as 

the head of the damper will be against the slab.

5. 

Drill clearance holes in the three damper flange's side 

and bottom at 150mm centres.

6. Apply a bead of low pressure intumescent mastic 

along top edge of damper as a gap filler and install 

the damper and fasten through flange using fire rated 

fasteners, min ø4mm.

7. Dampers are supplied with cleats and only need to be 

used to help/assist with the installation before faste-

ning the flange to the wall.

8. 

Back fill with mineral/stone wool and to retain this use

a 150mm pattress down to the damper spigot/duct 

line.  Fasten with fire rated fasteners, min ø4mm at 

300mm centres on the sides and bottom. Measure the 

gap for the top pattress and fix this pattress to the wall 

either side of the damper, (do not fix at 300ctr to the 

damper case).

9. 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).
