Vertical Damper Installation in a
Plasterboard Wall against a Floor Slab
Actionair SmokeShield PTC - [AA/F 10730]
Actionair FireShield - [AA/F 11682]
Installation Method
1. Apply a bead of low pressure intumescent mastic
along top edge of damper as a gap filler and Install
the damper against the floor slab and fasten using fire
rated steel fixings and a washer.
2. Frame out the damper using tracks and studs lined
with board. This is done with two vertical lined studs as
close to the damper as possible (outside the cleats) and
a lined cross track below the damper between the two
vertical studs and back fill with mineral/stone wool.
3. Build the partition to the track and stud framework,
coming as close to the damper as possible.
4. Insulate the wall with mineral/stone wool.
5. Seal the damper to the partition with intumescent
sealant and add pattresses to both sides down to the
damper spigot, seal to the damper spigot with intu-
mescent sealant. Fasten the pattresses with drywall
screws at 300mm centres on the sides and bottom
such that they will allow screws to pull into the stud
