These instructions describe an alternate breakaway connection between a fire damper or combination fire
smoke damper sleeve and an adjoining piece of ductwork. This alternate connection is covered under the UL
certification of the damper. These instructions apply to a connection between a manufactured flange system
by Ductmate, Dyn-o-mate, Ward, or Nexus and a TDC or TDF flange system.

1. Install the manufactured flange system onto the damper sleeve per the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. To seal the two flange systems together Neoprene or Butyl gasket may be applied to the mating surfaces.

3. Align the two flange systems together. An optional 3/8 in. (9mm) bolt and nut may be used in the corners to
help with the alignment. These bolts and nuts do not have to be removed.
