Fire dampers provide an automatic means of localising areas of fire in ventilation systems. The FSD range of curtain bladed fire dampers are suitable for installation in walls and ceilings made from concrete or brickwork, and will stop the spread of fire through duct, walls or floors. There is a wide choice of sizes available suitable for low, medium and high velocity applications and include rectangular, square, circular and flat oval connections. The dampers are fitted with standard release 72C fusible links unless otherwise specified. Note: The installer should note that all fire damper installations plus required access panels have to be to the satisfaction of the District Surveyor or the appropriate Fire Protection Authority.

Construction Dimensions Materials

Type FSD
Type FSD shutter fire dampers are constructed with a 1.2mm case and 0.8mm blades in galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10142 1991 FE PO 2GZ275 NA or equivalent. Various construction options are available, these are given in the table on page 7, standard supply unless otherwise stated is the FSD-A with a fusible link which has a fusing temperature of 72C. When fitted the twin catchplates are of galvanised mild steel (specification as case and blades). When fitted the side seals are convex in shape to close the gaps between blades and case. The material is spring stainless steel grade 302. The closing springs (constant force) are also stainless steel. The bottom blade of FSD...P...E - A...B...D...E are fitted with a ring pull device to allow blades to be reset.

Type FSP
The construction is similar to type FSD, except that the blades are manufactured from stainless steel grade 430.

Type FSE
Of similar construction to type FSP, except that the case and catchplates are manufactured from stainless steel grade 304L.

InstalIation Details
HEVAC Installation Frame Type H
The HEVAC Installation Frame Type H is built to specification HVC 615183. Various fire damper designs can be used with this installation frame, see below. The installation frame is factory assembled with its respective fire shutter damper and delivered to site as one unit. This unit should be installed centrally within the thickness of the surrounding wall or floor such that the centre line of the frame is a minimum distance of 50mm from the nearest face of the wall or floor. On installation all fixing tabs except those which are completely inaccessible shall be bent into the mortar joints between the brickwork or blockwork surrounding wall or floor. Then with cement mortar fill all joints solidly. In reinforced concrete the tabs should be bent out and tied with wire to the reinforced bars. The gap between the frame should then be backfilled with concrete or mortar both sides of the frame. Where more than one duct penetrates a fire wall or floor, adjacent fire dampers and frame assemblies must be separated by builder's work of a minimum thickness of 225mm. All FSD, FSP and FSE types can be fitted in the HEVAC installation frame. Note in all cases HEVAC frame is manufactured from galvanised mild steel.

Note: Two dampers can be supplied assembled in a single HEVAC frame up to size B x H 1524 x 1000mm. Receipt of an order for this configuration will be taken by Trox as the client having obtained this approval from the appropriate authority.

InstalIation Details
Installation with Sleeve and Peripheral Angles:
As an alternative for use where the HEVAC frame is not desired, cannot be fitted, or for multi section arrangements, peripheral sleeves and angle frames can be constructed in accordance with the following: The damper should be installed centrally within the surrounding wall or floor thickness such that the centre line of the frame is a minimum distance of 50mm from the nearest face of the wall or floor. The damper should be installed in a rectangular galvanised steel sleeve with a minimum thickness of 1.2mm. The fixing of the damper can be by tack welding the case on both sides directly to the sleeve, or by the use of 20 x 20 x 1.2mm steel angles which should be tack welded to the sleeve. In both cases welds to be at a maximum of 225mm pitch. The sleeve should be of a suitable length to extend through the wall or floor opening to enable the fitting of the cover angles and ductwork. The cover angles should be attached to the sleeve by 6mm diameter bolts at a maximum of 225mm centres, and should form a complete frame around the sleeve and cover over the expansion gap (see table) required between sleeve and wall or floor opening. The expansion gap should be filled with compressible, non combustible material (mineral wool). The cover angles should be of such a size as always to form a cover over the wall or floor opening by 25mm minimum, and should be manufactured from a minimum size of 38 x 38 x 3mm steel angle. All fixings must be positioned clear of the damper blade path so as not to impede proper closure. Warning Dampers supplied without installation frames as shown on page 5 or not being fitted into installation sleeves, must not be installed within a solid masonary structure as the outer case has no facility to cater for expansion during fire conditions. Note: Supply and fixing of sleeve and peripheral angles by others.

Installation Requirements
The installer should note that the installation and location of access panels is to be to the satisfaction of the District Surveyor or Building Inspector or the appropriate Fire Protection Authority.

Type U Channel Frame Supplied in lengths for site assembly.

When duct size B or H is greater than 1000mm, multiple dampers sections will be required. With all multi section installations the proposed arrangements must be to the satisfaction of the appropriate local authority and/or fire officer responsible for the installation. Receipt of an order requesting multiple sections will be taken by Trox as the client having obtained this approval from the appropriate authority.

Functional Description
Fusible link release (basic unit) Automatic closure of the fire damper at an air temperature of t > 72C, in the area of the fusible link; for smouldering fires where t < 72C, the system does not release. Magnetic release: (AC or DC solenoid or DC electro magnet) Thermal closure of fire damper at t > 72C, or electrically when the current is interrupted (power off to close) DC electro magnet, or pulsed (power on to close) AC or DC solenoid. Signal from central control or via a smoke detector built into ventilation system e.g. Trox Smoke Detector Type RM-O or RM-1/2. ETL Release: A dual response fusible link release providing automatic closure of the fire damper; a) at an air temperature t > 74C in the area of the Iink. b) When subject to a short duration low power electrical impluse which triggers a chemical heating of the centre element causing the link to release in approximately 7 seconds. This signal could be provided for example by a smoke detector, e.g. Trox Type RM-O or RM-1/2.
