Installation at minimal distances
The smoke control dampers can be installed at minimal distance on top of or next to each other, if they are mounted in separate sleeves made from the duct material with the required fire resistance. It is advised not to exceed a 2 x 4 configuration (H x W).
In case several smoke control dampers are mounted at a minimal distance, the bearing and reinforcement points of the duct must be adjusted in proportion to the increased weight. The installation of the duct must comply with the classification report delivered by the duct manufacturer.
When mounting more than 2 smoke control dampers in a concrete shaft, you need to provide a continuous reinforcement in the vertical columns of at least 4 x Ø 8 mm.
General remarks
- The installation must comply with the installation manual and the classification report.
- The installation of the smoke control duct must comply with the classification report delivered by the manufacturer.
- Axis orientation: see the declaration of performance.
- Avoid the obstruction of adjoining smoke control ducts.
- Verify if the blade can move freely.
- Rf-t smoke dampers may be applied to smoke control ducts that have been tested according to EN 1366-8 and EN 1366-9 as appropriate, constructed from similar materials with a fire resistance, thickness and density equal or superior to these of the tested materials.
- Caution: when fitting, the product should be handled with care and remain protected from any sealing products.
- Caution: before putting the installation into operation, clean off all the dust and dirt.
- Caution: bear in mind the blade’s clearance inside the smoke control duct.
