These instructions cover the installation of CFSD-XXX leakage rated combination fire/smoke dampers with factory installed actuators and sleeves in corridor ceiling applications. These instructions meet the requirements of UL555, UL555S and the Uniform Building Code.
There are three different configurations available for this application. Configurations 1 & 2 apply when the fire rated ceiling is also the finished ceiling and the damper is installed behind a grille, register or diffuser. Configuration 3 applies when the fire rated ceiling is above the finished ceiling and the grille, register or
diffuser is somewhere below the corridor damper.
1. MAXIMUM SIZES
Corridor dampers have a maximum size of 24 in. W x 24 in. H (610mm x 610mm) and a minimum size of 8 in. W x 6 in. H. (203mm x 152mm).
2. CLEARANCES REQUIRED BETWEEN CORRIDOR DAMPER SLEEVES AND CEILING OPENINGS
The interior dimension of the prepared ceiling opening should be 1/4 in. (6mm) larger than the overall size of the damper and sleeve assembly.
These are total clearances (ignoring fastener heads) and do not need to be spaced equally around the damper.
3. SECURING CORRIDOR DAMPER SLEEVES TO FIRE RATED CEILING OPENINGS

Damper Maintenance
6
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
• The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
• Actuator manufacturer recommendations.
Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the fire or fire smoke damper in, not to, the opening in such a manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. This is accomplished by allowing the fire or fire smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the collapse of the hanging system. The following items will aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations
within the building. Visually inspect the damper for damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link (RRL) is in place or has not activated. Never install a fire damper without the proper UL approved RRL in place. (RRL is standard control option. These electric links have a button for resetting.) If damper is furnished with fusible link, visually inspect the link to verify its not missing or broken. Replace link as necessary.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift
damper using blades or actuators.
3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating a
‘No Screw’ area. Do not install screws into this area as screws may interfere with unexposed blade linkage and prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper
and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly to comply with manufacturer’s appropriate UL Classification file number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square
and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. Out of square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations can cause excessive leakage and/or torque
requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and after installation. Examples of such foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust b) Drywall dust c) Firesafing materials d) Wall texture e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits on damper can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between the damper sleeve and the wall or floor opening (annular space). However, caulking may be applied to the retaining angles.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRL’s and actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must evaluate and provide approval of final installation where variations to these instructions are necessary.
Electrical Guidelines

These instructions apply to 1 masonry, block or stud walls and 2) concrete floors or ceilings. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. Dampers must be installed in accordance with these instructions to meet the requirements of UL 555 and UL 555S. The installation of the damper and all duct connections to the damper sleeve shall conform to the latest editions of NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, and the SMACNA Fire, Smoke and Radiation Damper Installation Guide, and UL Classifications R13317.
Note: Combination fire smoke dampers are manufactured and labelled for either vertical or horizontal installation. The dampers must be installed in accordance with labelling.
1. CLEARANCES REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRE DAMPER SLEEVES AND WALL/FLOOR OPENINGS
Fire damper and sleeve assemblies expand during periods of intense heat. Therefore, it is essential that openings in walls or floors be larger than the fire/smoke damper and sleeve assembly to allow for this expansion. Minimum clearances required between the outside of fire damper sleeve assemblies and wall/floor openings are:
• Galvanized steel fire dampers and sleeves: 1⁄8 in. per foot (3mm per .3 m) of damper width and (3mm per .3 m) height with a minimum clearance of (6mm), maximum of 1 1⁄2 in. (38mm).
Recommended clearances, for width and/or height dimensions of:
1) 48 in. (1219mm) or less:
/2 and 3 hour rated combination fire smoke dampers mounted (blades must be horizontal) in: 1)
2) More than 48 in. (1219mm) and 96 in. (2438mm) or less: 1 in. (25mm) clearance
3) More than 96 in. (2438mm): 11⁄2 in. (38mm) clearance
• Stainless steel fire/smoke dampers and stainless steel

5. ACTUATOR CONNECTIONS
Electrical and/or pneumatic connections to damper actuators should be made in accordance with wiring and piping diagrams developed in compliance with applicable codes, ordinances and regulations (see Electrical
Guidelines).
6. INSTALLING MULTIPLE DAMPER SECTION ASSEMBLIES
A damper assembly is not restricted to a maximum number of sections, but must not exceed the section sizes and overall sizes shown (see chart).
Two section high dampers require reinforcement using a 14 gauge (2mm), 5 in. (127mm) wide mullion as shown in Fig. 4 below, or two individually sleeved units stacked vertically, shown below in Fig. 5. When using two individually sleeved units, the sleeve acts as the mullion, therefore no mullion is required.
The damper sections must be attached together with #10 (3/4 in. max. [19mm]) sheet metal screws, 1/4 in. (6mm) diameter nuts and bolts, tack or spot welds, or 3/16 in. (48mm) diameter steel pop rivets. Attachments must be spaced a maximum of 6 in. (152mm) on centers and a maximum of 2 in. (51mm) from corners. Attachments must
be made on front face and back face (air entering and air exiting side) of damper sections.
Note: Dampers ordered for individual installation may not be installed together. The full assembly size must be specified at the time the dampers are ordered.

7. CONNECTION AND OPERATION OF TEMPERATURE
12
RESPONSE DEVICES (RRL STANDARD, OCI OPTION, AND TOR OPTION)
RRL - Dampers will be supplied with a thermostat-type
temperature response device, as a standard. The device is a RRL (resettable link device), which only incorporates one thermostat and therefore the damper remains closed as soon as its sensor temperature is reached. The RRL does not contain blade indication switches. Refer to Fig. 6 for wiring of the RRL thermostat.
Fig. 6 RRL Wiring
OCI - The OCI (open or closed indicator) option
contains a single pole, double throw switch used to indicate the damper blade position. The switch provides a positive open or closed signal when used in conjunction with remote indicator lights. Refer to Fig. 7
& 8 for wiring of the OCI option.
TOR - The TOR (temperature override device) option
incorporates two thermostats with fixed settings (usually 165°F [74°C] and 350°F [177°C]). The primary sensor (the sensor with the lower temperature setting) can be bypassed by an external electrical signal allowing the damper to reopen until the temperature reaches the setting of the secondary sensor (the sensor with the higher temperature setting). See Fig. 8.
When the temperature of the secondary sensor is exceeded the damper closes and remains closed thereafter.
The TOR assembly also contains a single pole, double throw switch used to indicate damper blade position. The switch provides a positive open or closed signal when used in conjunction with remote indicator lights. See Fig. 8 for wiring of the TOR thermostats and indicator switches.
If either the TOR or the RRL is ordered with a pneumatic actuator, an EP switch is required with an appropriate electric power circuit to allow the electric thermostat to control the pneumatic actuator.
Fig. 7 OCI Wiring
Fig. 8 RRL/OCI Wiring
Fig. 9 TOR Wiring
PRV - The PRV (pneumatic relief valve) option is heat
responsive device used with pneumatic actuators. This can be used in place of EP switch where a RRL is used. The PRV activates when temperature in excess of the temperature of the fusible link are detected. When the fusible link melts, air from the actuator is exhausted to close the dampers. Pneumatic actuators are to be piped per local code.

Damper Maintenance
15
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
• The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
• Actuator manufacturer recommendations.
Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
Damper does not fully open and/or close
RRL or TOR sensor tripped
Damper does not operate
Frame is 'racked' causing blades to bind on jamb seals
Actuator linkage loose Close damper, disconnect power, adjust and tighten

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the fire or fire smoke damper in, not to, the opening in such a manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. This is accomplished by allowing the fire or fire smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the collapse of the hanging system. The following items will aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations within the building. Visually inspect the damper for damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link (RRL) is in place or has not activated. Never install a fire damper without the proper UL approved RRL in place. (RRL is standard control option. These electric links have a button for resetting.) If damper is furnished with fusible link, visually inspect the link to verify its not missing or broken. Replace link as necessary.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift damper using blades or actuators.
3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating a ‘No Screw’ area. Do not install screws into this area as screws may interfere with unexposed blade linkage and prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly to comply with manufacturer’s appropriate UL Classification file number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper
must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. Out of square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and after installation. Examples of such foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust b) Drywall dust c) Firesafing materials d) Wall texture e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits on damper can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between the damper sleeve and the wall or floor opening (annular space). However, caulking may be applied to the retaining angles.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRL’s and actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must evaluate and provide approval of final installation where variations to these instructions are necessary.
Installation - Failure to follow these instructions will void all warranties.
These instructions apply to 1½ hour rated combination fire smoke dampers and curtain fire dampers mounted in masonry, block, wood or metal stud walls, or concrete floors. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. These instructions meet the requirements of UL555. Installation shall comply with the requirements of NFPA 90A (Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems) and UL listing R13317.

2. CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
There is no minimum clearance requirement between the wall/floor opening and the sleeve exterior (with thermal blanket attached). However, to facilitate installation, clearances between the wall/floor opening and the damper sleeve are recommended. although there is no maximum allowable clearance, the minimum overlap requirements between the wall/floor and the flange/retaining angle must be met. On grill mount installations the flange must overlap the wall/floor by ½ in. (13mm). On continuous duct installations, the retaining angles must overlap the wall/floor by 1 in. (25mm). Because no clearances are required between the wall/floor opening and the sleeve, dampers may not be installed in the plane of the wall using this installation method.

Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
• The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
• Actuator manufacturer recommendations.
Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the fire or fire smoke damper in, not to, the opening in such a manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. This is accomplished by allowing the fire or fire smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the collapse of the hanging system. The following items will aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations within the building. Visually inspect the damper for damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link (RRL) is in place or has not activated. Never install a fire damper without the proper UL approved RRL in place. (RRL is standard control option. These electric links have a button for resetting.) If damper is furnished with fusible link, visually inspect the link to verify its not missing or broken. Replace link as necessary.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift damper using blades or actuators.
3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating a ‘No Screw’ area. Do not install screws into this area as screws may interfere with unexposed blade linkage and prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly to comply with manufacturer’s appropriate UL Classification file number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or
opening. Out of square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and after installation. Examples of such foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust b) Drywall dust c) Firesafing materials d) Wall texture e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits on damper can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between the damper sleeve and the wall or floor opening (annular space). However, caulking may be applied to the retaining angles.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRL’s and actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must evaluate and provide approval of final installation where variations to these instructions are necessary.
Electrical Guidelines
Electrical Guidelines
All wiring shall be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70 latest edition, any local codes that may apply, and wiring diagrams developed in compliance with the job or project design and specifications.

These instructions apply to 11/2 hour rated combination fire smoke dampers mounted (blades must be vertical) in: masonry, block, or stud walls. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. Dampers must be installed in accordance with these instructions to meet the requirements of UL555 and UL555S. The installation of the damper and all duct connections to the damper sleeve shall conform to the latest editions of NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, and the SMACNA Fire, Smoke and Radiation Damper Installation Guide, and UL Classifications R13317.
1. CLEARANCES REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRE DAMPER
SLEEVES AND WALL/FLOOR OPENINGS
Fire damper and sleeve assemblies expand during periods of intense heat. Therefore, it is essential that openings in walls or floors be larger than the fire damper and sleeve assembly to allow for this expansion. Minimum clearances required between the outside of fire damper sleeve assemblies and wall/floor openings are:
Recommended clearances, for width and/or height dimensions of:
These are total clearances (ignoring fastener heads) and do not need to be equally spaced around the damper.
2. SLEEVE LENGTH AND WALL THICKNESS
Insert the sleeved damper assembly into the prepared
opening, to appropriate depth (refer to label on outside of sleeve for location of damper in wall; see Dimension A and Detail 1, Fig. 1).
Recommended maximum and minimum insertion depth can be exceeded if:
1) The operation of the damper is not impeded and
2) The CL of the damper frame remains within the plane of
3) Attachments made through the retaining angle do
IMPORTANT: To avoid causing death or serious bodily harm to building occupants, do not penetrate the ‘No Screw’ area designated on the damper sleeve or the damper may not close properly.
The sleeve may extend a maximum of 16 in. beyond the wall on the actuator side of the damper and a maximum of 6 in. on the opposite side. Recommended standard sleeve lengths for various wall thicknesses are:
• Galvanized steel fire dampers and sleeves: 1⁄8 in. (3mm) per foot of damper width and height with a minimum clearance of 1⁄4 in. (6mm), maximum of 1 1⁄2 in. (38mm).
1) 36 in. (914mm) or less: 1⁄2 in. (13mm) clearance

RESPONSE DEVICES (RRL STANDARD, OCI OPTION, AND TOR OPTION)
RRL - Dampers will be supplied with a thermostat-type
temperature response device, as a standard. The device is a RRL (resettable link device), which only incorporates one thermostat and therefore the damper remains closed as soon as its sensor temperature is reached. The RRL does not contain blade indication switches. Refer to Fig.
4 for wiring of the RRL thermostat.
OCI - The OCI (open or closed indicator) option contains
a single pole, double throw switch used to indicate the damper blade position. The switch provides a positive open or closed signal when used in conjunction with remote indicator lights. Refer to Fig. 5 & 6 for wiring of the OCI option.
TOR - The TOR (temperature override device) option incorporates two thermostats with fixed settings (usually 165°F [74°C] and 350°F [177°]). The primary sensor (the sensor with the lower temperature setting) can be bypassed by an external electrical signal allowing the damper to reopen until the temperature reaches the setting of the secondary sensor (the sensor with the higher temperature setting). When the temperature of the secondary sensor is exceeded the damper closes and remains closed thereafter (Figure 7).
The TOR assembly also contains a single pole, double throw switch used to indicate damper blade position. The switch provides a positive open or closed signal when used in conjunction with remote indicator lights. See Fig. 7 for wiring of the TOR thermostats and indicator switches.
If either the TOR or the RRL is ordered with a pneumatic actuator, an EP switch is required with an appropriate electric power circuit to allow the electric thermostat to control the pneumatic actuator.
PRV - The PRV (pneumatic relief valve) option is heat responsive device used with pneumatic actuators. This can be used in place of EP switch where a RRL is used. The PRV activates when temperature in excess of the temperature of the fusible link are detected. When the fusible link melts, air from the actuator is exhausted to close the dampers. Pneumatic actuators are to be piped per local code.

Damper Maintenance
35
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
• The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
• Actuator manufacturer recommendations.

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the fire smoke or fire damper in the opening in such a manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. This is accomplished by allowing the fire or fire smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the collapse of the hanging system. The following items will aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations within the building. Visually inspect the damper for damage and verify that the fusible link is in place or has not separated. If fusible link is not present or has separated, replace link. Never install a fire damper without the proper UL approved fusible link in place. (Fusible link is standard control option. An electric link may have been provided. Electric links have a button for resetting.)
2) Lift or handle damper using the frame. Do not lift damper using blades or actuators.
3) Do not install screws into the main body area of the damper frame as screws may interfere with and prevent damper blade from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper assembly in the wall. Install accordingly to comply with manufacturer’s appropriate UL Classification file number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening free of distortion or other misalignment. Damper must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. Out of round, racked, twisted or misaligned installations can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and after installation. Examples of such
foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust b) Drywall dust c) Firesafing materials d) Wall texture e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits on damper can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between the damper sleeve and the wall or floor opening (annular space). However, caulking may be applied to the retaining plates.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that fusible links, RRL’s, actuators, and linkages can be maintained) must be provided for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must evaluate and provide approval of final installation where variations to these instructions are necessary.

Installation - Failure to follow these instructions will void all warranties.
These instructions apply to 1½ hour rated combination fire smoke and fire dampers mounted in: 1) masonry, block or stud walls and 2) concrete floors or ceilings. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. Dampers must be installed in accordance with these instructions to meet the requirements of UL 555 and UL 555S. The installation of the damper and all duct connections to the damper sleeve shall conform to the latest editions of NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, and the SMACNA Fire, Smoke and Radiation Damper Installation Guide, and UL Classifications R13317.

1. CLEARANCES REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRE
38
DAMPER SLEEVES AND WALL/FLOOR OPENINGS
Fire damper assemblies expand during periods of intense heat. Therefore, it is essential that openings in walls or floors be larger than the fire damper assembly to allow for this expansion. The wall/floor opening must be a minimum of 7/8 in. (22mm) larger than the outside diameter of the damper. Refer to Section 4 for additional installation considerations.
2. SLEEVE LENGTH AND WALL/FLOOR THICKNESS
Insert the damper assembly into the prepared opening, to appropriate depth (see Fig. 1).
Recommended maximum and minimum insertion depth can be exceeded if:
1) the operation of the damper actuator is not impeded and
2) the CL of the damper blade remains within the plane of the wall/floor
IMPORTANT SAFETY DANGER! : To avoid causing death or serious bodily harm to building occupants, do not insert screws into the damper frame unless used for duct connection within 2 in. (51mm) of the frame end.
The sleeve may extend a maximum of 16 in. (406mm) beyond the wall or floor on the actuator side of the damper and a maximum of 6 in. (152mm) on the opposite side.
Fig. 1
3. ROUND DUCT CONNECTIONS
Round duct connections to shall be attached with #8 or #10 sheet metal screws as follows:
• Ducts 22 in. (558mm) dia. and smaller shall have three screws.
• Ducts larger than 22 in. (558mm) dia. up to and including 24 in. (610mm) dia. shall have five screws.
NOTE: All connections described may have duct sealant, PA2084T duct sealant adhesive manufactured by Precision, DP1010 water base duct sealant manufactured by Design Polymetrics, Grey Pookie, Ductmate PROseal®, or CL Ward S Seal applied in accordance with SMACNA recommendations.
4. SECURING THE DAMPER/SLEEVE ASSEMBLY TO WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS
Damper assemblies must be installed in wall/floor openings using a single retaining plate on either side of the wall/floor or by using a retaining plate on both sides of the wall/floor. The use of a second retaining plate is allowed, but is not necessary. A single retaining plate is provided with the dampers. A second retaining plate can be ordered as an option. The outside dimension of the supplied retainer plate is nominal dia. + 4½ inches (114mm).
Opening + 2 in. Min.
• The retaining plate(s) will open up for easy
39
installation when the clamping screw is loosened. If necessary, remove the clamping screw and nut (see Fig. 2).
• Position the retaining plate between the blade axle and the actuator shaft as shown in Figure 1. Do not place the retaining plate in the groove. IMPORTANT: The clamping mechanism should face away from the wall/floor.
• Place the damper and attached retainer plate into the wall/floor opening.
• If a second retaining plate is being used, secure it on the opposite side of the wall/floor.
• Verify position, blade orientation, and actuator clearance then tighten the retainer plate clamping screws.
• The retainer plate(s) must overlap the wall/floor opening a minimum of 1 inch (25mm).
• Secure the retainer plate(s) to the wall at the four corners of each plate when two retainer plates are used and also within ¾ in. (19mm) of the center of each side when one retainer plate is used. The following fasteners shall be used:
- #8 or #10 screws of a length such that the screw engages the steel stud/track by ½ in. (13mm) (steel framing)
- #8 or #10 screws of a length such that screw engages the wood stud by 1¾ in. (44mm) (wood framing)
- Steel anchors or self tapping concrete screws penetrating masonry or block 1¼ in. (32mm).
Fig. 3
5. ACTUATOR CONNECTIONS
Electrical and/or pneumatic connections to damper actuators should be made in accordance with wiring and piping diagrams developed in compliance with applicable codes, ordinances and regulations (see
Electrical Guidelines).
6. CONNECTION AND OPERATION OF TEMPERATURE RESPONSE DEVICES (Fusible Link, RRL OPTION, OCI OPTION, TOR OPTION, and PRV OPTION)
RRL - Dampers will be supplied with a fusible link
temperature response device, as a standard. An optional thermostat type temperature response device may have been installed. The device is a RRL (resettable link device), which only incorporates one thermostat and therefore the damper remains closed as soon as its sensor temperature is reached. The RRL does not contain blade indication switches. Refer to Fig. 4.

This is accomplished by allowing the fire or fire smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the collapse of the hanging system. The following items will aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations within the building. Visually inspect the damper for damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link (RRL) is in place or has not activated. Never install a fire damper without the proper UL approved RRL in place. (RRL is standard control option. These electric links have a button for resetting.) If damper is furnished with fusible link, visually inspect the link to verify its not missing or broken. Replace link as necessary.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift damper using blades or actuators.
3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating a ‘No Screw’ area. Do not install screws into this area as screws may interfere with unexposed blade linkage and prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly to comply with manufacturer’s appropriate UL Classification file number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. Out of square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations
can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and after installation. Examples of such foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust b) Drywall dust c) Firesafing materials d) Wall texture e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits on damper can cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between the damper sleeve and the wall or floor opening (annular space). However, caulking may be applied to the retaining angles.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRL’s and actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must evaluate and provide approval of final installation where variations to these instructions are necessary.
Installation - Failure to follow these instructions will void all warranties.
These instructions apply to 1½ hour rated combination fire smoke dampers mounted in masonry, block or metal stud walls, or concrete floors. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. These instructions meet the requirements of UL555. Installation shall comply with the requirements of NFPA 90A (Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems) and UL listing R13317.
1. DAMPER IS INSTALLED OUTSIDE OF WALL PLANE GFSD-XXX
Figure 1 shows two approved installations for
combination fire smoke dampers: 1) “Through the grille access” and 2) installation in continuing duct. In grille-mount applications, the damper actuator can be accessed by removing the grille and the actuator compartment cover plate. To provide access to the damper actuator for continuing ductwork, refer to the requirements of NFPA 90A.
2. CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
There is no minimum clearance requirement between the wall/floor opening and the sleeve exterior (with thermal blanket attached). However, to facilitate installation, clearances between the wall/floor opening and the damper sleeve are recommended. Although there is no maximum allowable clearance, the minimum overlap requirements between the wall/floor and the flange/ retaining angle must be met. On grille-mount installations the flange must overlap the wall/floor by ¼ in. (6mm).

must overlap the wall/floor by 1 in. (25mm). Because no clearances are required between the wall/floor opening and the sleeve, dampers may not be installed in the plane of the wall using this installation method.
3. DUCT TO SLEEVE CONNECTIONS
Dampers are supplied with actuators (on applicable models) and sleeves from the factory and can be installed without the need for additional field installed sleeves.
Sleeve gauges of 16 or 14 (1.5mm - 2mm) are to be used. UL Standard 555 requires all ducts to terminate at fire damper sleeves. Sleeve thickness must not be less than the gauge of the connecting duct.
Duct to sleeve breakaway connections must be of the type described on page 10. Factory furnished round
collars on type R and CR dampers are also
duct considered to be breakaway connections and may be used.
4. SECURING THE DAMPER/SLEEVE ASSEMBLY TO WALL OPENINGS.
Damper/sleeve assemblies must be installed in wall openings using flanges and sheet metal screws as illustrated and described below.
• Flange on front (grille end) of sleeve must be a minimum
of 14 gauge (2mm) steel and have a ¾ in. (19mm) minimum flange leg (refer to Figure 2). Using #10 (19mm) sheet metal screws, screw from inside of sleeve through the rear portion of the studs (as shown in Figure 1). Space screws a maximum of 6 in. (152mm) on center and a maximum of 2 in. (51mm) from the corners (minimum of 2 screws per side). No retaining angles are required on the side of wall opposite from the grille.

Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
• The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
• Actuator manufacturer recommendations.
