'Installation Instructions for FSD-XXX, DFD-XXX, CFSD-XXX, &
SSFSD-XXX, Series Fire & Combination Fire Smoke Dampers'
(Part #461336)
1. GAUGES AND LENGTHS OF FIRE DAMPER
SLEEVES
All fire smoke dampers must be installed in a steel sleeve
of the required gauge and length. See Table 1 for required
minimum sleeve gauges. Maximum sleeve thickness is
10 gauge (3.5mm). Sleeve inside dimensions must equal
damper outside dimensions.
Sleeves shall extend a maximum of 16 in. (406mm) beyond
the wall or floor on the actuator side of the damper (see
Figure 1). When an access door is incorporated as a part
of the sleeve on the side opposite the actuator, the sleeve
shall also extend a maximum of 16 in. (406mm) beyond the
wall or floor. When there is no access door incorporated
as part of the sleeve, the sleeve shall extend a maximum
of 6 in. (152mm) beyond the wall or floor on the side of the
damper opposite the actuator.
2. ATTACHING FIRE DAMPERS TO SLEEVES
All four sides of the damper frame must be attached to the
sleeve with one row of attachments on each side of the
frame. Attachments must be spaced a maximum of 6 in.
(152mm) on centers and a maximum of 2 in. (51mm) from
corners. A minimum of 4 attachments (2 on each side of
the frame) per side ( 16 per damper ) are required. One of
the methods of attachment shown below must be used.
• tack or spot welds
• #10 sheet metal screws
• 1 /4 in. (6mm)bolts and nuts
• 3 /16 in. (4.7mm)steel pop rivets
