Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
Damper does not
fully open and/or
close
Frame is 'racked' causing blades
to bind on jamb seals
Adjust frame such that it is square and plumb
Actuator linkage loose Close damper, disconnect power, adjust and
tighten linkage
Defective motor Replace
Screws in damper linkage Damper installed too far into wall. Move out
to line as designated on damper label
Contaminants on damper Clean with a non-oil based solvent (see
Damper Maintenance)
RRL or TOR sensor
tripped
Heat Push reset button located on backside of
RRL or TOR
Damper does not
operate
No power supplied to the actuator Add power supply
Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary,
use mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft
bearings and jamb seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such
as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the
re or re smoke damper in, not to, the opening in such a
manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper
operation. This is accomplished by allowing the re or re
smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand
and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the
collapse of the hanging system. The following items will
aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and
effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations
within the building. Visually inspect the damper for
damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link
(RRL) is in place or has not activated. Never install a
re damper without the proper UL approved RRL in
place. (RRL is standard control option. These electric
links have a button for resetting.) If damper is furnished
with fusible link, visually inspect the link to verify its not
missing or broken. Replace link as necessary.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift
damper using blades or actuators.
3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating a
No Screw area. Do not install screws into this area as
screws may interfere with unexposed blade linkage and
prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper
and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly
to comply with manufacturers appropriate UL
Classication le number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square
and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper must
not be squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. Out
of square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations
can cause excessive leakage and/or torque
requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and
protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials
prior to and after installation. Examples of such foreign
materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust
b) Drywall dust
c) Firesang materials
d) Wall texture
e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufciently covered as to prevent
overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be
performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt
or foreign material deposits on damper can cause
excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to
exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between
the damper sleeve and the wall or oor opening
(annular space). However, caulking may be applied to
the retaining angles.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRLs and
actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided
for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not
possible to achieve sufcient size access, it will be
necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer
to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must
evaluate and provide approval of nal installation
where variations to these instructions are necessary.
Electrical Guidelines
All wiring shall be done in accordance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70 latest edition, any local
codes that may apply, and wiring diagrams developed
in compliance with the job or project design and
specications.
Safety Caution!
Electrical input may be needed for this equipment. This
work should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Verify power before wiring actuator. Greenheck is not
responsible for any damage to, or failure of the unit
caused by incorrect field wiring. To avoid causing death
or serious bodily harm to building occupants, follow all
instructions carefully. Dampers must close completely to
preserve the integrity of the fire smoke separation.

1. CLEARANCES REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRE DAMPER
SLEEVES AND WALL/FLOOR OPENINGS
Fire damper and sleeve assemblies expand during periods
of intense heat. Therefore, it is essential that openings in
walls or floors be larger than the fire/smoke damper and
sleeve assembly to allow for this expansion. Minimum
clearances required between the outside of fire damper
sleeve assemblies and wall/floor openings are:
Galvanized steel fire dampers and sleeves:
1
8 in. per
foot (3mm per .3 m) of damper width and
1
8 in. per foot
(3mm per .3 m) height with a minimum clearance of
1
4 in.
(6mm), maximum of 1
1
2 in. (38mm).
Recommended clearances, for width and/or height
dimensions of:
1) 48 in. (1219mm) or less:
1
2 in. (13mm) clearance
2) More than 48 in. (1219mm) and 96 in. (2438mm) or
less: 1 in. (25mm) clearance
3) More than 96 in. (2438mm): 1
1
2 in. (38mm) clearance
Stainless steel fire/smoke dampers and stainless steel
or galvanized sleeves:
3
16 in. per foot (5mm per .3 m) of
damper width and height with a minimum clearance of
1/4 in. (6mm), maximum of 2 in. (51mm).
Recommended clearances, for width and/or height
dimensions of:
1) 48 in. (1219mm) or less:
3
4 in. (19mm) clearance.
These are total clearances (ignoring fastener heads) and
do not need to be equally spaced around the damper.
Refer to Section 4 and Figure 6 for additional installation
considerations.
Example:
A 12 in. x 12 in. (305mm x 305mm) will
require a minimum clearance of 1/4
in. (6mm) width and 1/4 in. (6mm) on
height
A 36 in. x 12 in. (914mm x 305mm)
damper will required a minimum
clearance of 1/2 in. (13mm) on width
and 1/4 in. (13mm) on height.
2. SLEEVE LENGTH AND WALL THICKNESS
Insert the sleeved damper assembly into the prepared
opening, to appropriate depth (refer to label on outside
of sleeve for location of damper in wall; see
Dimension A and Detail 1, Fig. 1).
Recommended maximum and minimum insertion depth
can be exceeded if:
1) The operation of the damper is not impeded and
2) The C
L
of the damper frame remains within the plane
of the wall and
3) Attachments made through the retaining angle do not
penetrate the No Screw area designated on the
damper sleeve.

3. DUCT TO SLEEVE CONNECTIONS
Dampers are supplied with sleeves and actuators from
the factory and can be installed without the need for
additional field installed sleeves.
Gauge of factory furnished sleeve determines the
type of duct to sleeve connections required (see table
below). Any duct connection other than the breakaway
connections described on page 7 are considered rigid.
Factory furnished duct collars, type R and O, are also
considered breakaway (see Fig. 2).

See page 7 for additional information on breakaway sleeve connections.
Sleeve thickness must not be less than the gauge of the connecting duct.
UL Standard 555 requires all ducts to terminate at re damper sleeves.
4. SECURING THE DAMPER/SLEEVE ASSEMBLY TO
WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS (for single side retaining
angle instructions, see supplements)
Damper/sleeve assemblies must be installed in wall and
floor openings using retaining angles on at least one side
of the wall or floor as described below:
Retaining angles for 1 hour rated dampers with a
width and height 48 in. (1219mm) or less must be a
minimum of 20 ga. (1mm). Retaining angles for all 3 hour
rated dampers and all dampers with a width or height
greater than 48 in. (1219mm) must be a minimum of 16
gauge (1.5mm). The leg of the retaining angle on the
damper sleeve shall be a minimum of 1 in. (32mm).
The leg of the retaining angle on the wall/floor shall be
long enough to cover the annular space and overlap the
wall/floor by a minimum of 1 in. (25mm).
Retaining angles must be attached to the damper using
one or more of the following methods of attachment
(refer to label on outside of sleeve for No Screw area):
Tack or spot welds
#10 (
3
/4 in. [19mm] max.) sheet metal screws

1
/4 in. (6mm) bolts and nuts

3
/16 in. (5mm) steel pop rivets
A minimum of two connections per side, top, and bottom,
12 in. (305mm) O.C. maximum for openings of
48 in. W x 36 in. H (1219mm x 914mm) and less, and 6 in.
(152mm) O.C. for openings 80 in. W x 50 in. H
(2032mm x 1270mm), 50 in. W x 72 in. H (1270mm x
1829mm), and 40 in. W x 72 in. H (1016mm x 1829mm)
or less. The angles must be attached to all 4 sides of the
sleeve. Ensure that attachment device does not interfere
with the operation of the damper and the free movement
of the damper blades. The angles need not be attached
to each other at the corners. Do not secure the retaining
angle to the fire separation (see Fig. 3).
Retaining angles should not be fastened to the wall/
floor material. The angles should only sandwich the
wall/floor and allow for damper expansion during
periods of intense heat.
IMPORTANT SAFETY DANGER! : To avoid causing
death or serious bodily harm to building occupants, do
not penetrate the No Screw area designated on the
damper sleeve or the damper may not close properly.
The sleeve may extend a maximum of 16 in. (406mm)
beyond the wall or floor on the actuator side of the
damper and a maximum of 6 in. on the opposite side.

5. ACTUATOR CONNECTIONS
Electrical and/or pneumatic connections to damper
actuators should be made in accordance with wiring and
piping diagrams developed in compliance with applicable
codes, ordinances and regulations (see Electrical
Guidelines).
6. INSTALLING MULTIPLE DAMPER SECTION
ASSEMBLIES
A damper assembly is not restricted to a maximum
number of sections, but must not exceed the section
sizes and overall sizes shown (see chart).
Two section high dampers require reinforcement using a
14 gauge (2mm), 5 in. (127mm) wide mullion as shown in
Fig. 4 below, or two individually sleeved units stacked
vertically, shown below in Fig. 5. When using two
individually sleeved units, the sleeve acts as the mullion,
therefore no mullion is required.
The damper sections must be attached together with
#10 (
3
/4 in. max. [19mm]) sheet metal screws,
1
/4 in. (6mm)
diameter nuts and bolts, tack or spot welds, or
3
/16 in.
(48mm) diameter steel pop rivets. Attachments must be
spaced a minimum of 6 in. (152mm) on centers and a
maximum of 2 in. (51mm) from corners. Attachments must
be made on front face and back face (air entering and air
exiting side) of damper sections.
Note: Dampers ordered for individual installation may
not be installed together. The full assembly size must be
specified at the time the dampers are ordered.

7. CONNECTION AND OPERATION OF TEMPERATURE
RESPONSE DEVICES (RRL STANDARD, OCI OPTION,
AND TOR OPTION)
RRL - Dampers will be supplied with a thermostat-type
temperature response device, as a standard. The device
is a RRL (resettable link device), which only incorporates
one thermostat and therefore the damper remains
closed as soon as its sensor temperature is reached.
The RRL does not contain blade indication switches.
Refer to Fig. 6 for wiring of the RRL thermostat.
OCI - The OCI (open or closed indicator) option
contains a single pole, double throw switch used
to indicate the damper blade position. The switch
provides a positive open or closed signal when used in
conjunction with remote indicator lights. Refer to Fig. 7
& 8 for wiring of the OCI option.
TOR - The TOR (temperature override device) option
incorporates two thermostats with fixed settings (usually
165F [74C] and 350F [177C]). The primary sensor
(the sensor with the lower temperature setting) can be
bypassed by an external electrical signal allowing the
damper to reopen until the temperature reaches the
setting of the secondary sensor (the sensor with the
higher temperature setting).
See Fig. 8.
When the temperature of the secondary sensor is
exceeded the damper closes and remains closed
thereafter.
The TOR assembly also contains a single pole, double
throw switch used to indicate damper blade position. The
switch provides a positive open or closed signal when
used in conjunction with remote indicator lights. See
Fig. 8 for wiring of the TOR thermostats and indicator
switches.
If either the TOR or the RRL is ordered with a pneumatic
actuator, an EP switch is required with an appropriate
electric power circuit to allow the electric thermostat to
control the pneumatic actuator.
PRV - The PRV (pneumatic relief valve) option is heat
responsive device used with pneumatic actuators. This
can be used in place of EP switch where a RRL is used.
The PRV activates when temperature in excess of the
temperature of the fusible link are detected. When the
fusible link melts, air from the actuator is exhausted to
close the dampers. Pneumatic actuators are to be piped
per local code.

Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
Damper does not fully
open and/or close
Frame is 'racked' causing blades to bind
on jamb seals
Adjust frame such that it is square and plumb
Actuator linkage loose Close damper, disconnect power, adjust and tighten
linkage
Defective motor Replace
Screws in damper linkage Damper installed too far into wall. Move out to line as
designated on damper label
Contaminants on damper Clean with a non-oil based solvent (see Damper
Maintenance)
RRL or TOR sensor
tripped
Heat Push reset button located on backside of RRL or TOR
Damper does not
operate
No power supplied to the actuator Add power supply
Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild
detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do
not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.

Return to Table of Contents
Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the
re or re smoke damper in, not to, the opening in such a
manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper
operation. This is accomplished by allowing the re or re
smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand
and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the
collapse of the hanging system. The following items will
aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and
effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations
within the building. Visually inspect the damper for
damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link
(RRL) is in place or has not activated. Never install
a re damper without the proper UL approved RRL
in place. (RRL is standard control option. These
electric links have a button for resetting.) If damper
is furnished with fusible link, visually inspect the link
to verify its not missing or broken. Replace link as
necessary.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not
lift damper using blades or actuators.
3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating a
No Screw area. Do not install screws into this area
as screws may interfere with unexposed blade linkage
and prevent damper blades from opening and/or
closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper
and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly
to comply with manufacturers appropriate UL
Classication le number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square
and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper
must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or
opening. Out of square, racked, twisted or misaligned
installations can cause excessive leakage and/or
torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator
design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and
protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials
prior to and after installation. Examples of such foreign
materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust
b) Drywall dust
c) Firesang materials
d) Wall texture
e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufciently covered as to prevent
overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be
performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt
or foreign material deposits on damper can cause
excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to
exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between
the damper sleeve and the wall or oor opening
(annular space). However, caulking may be applied to
the retaining angles.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRLs and
actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided
for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not
possible to achieve sufcient size access, it will be
necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer
to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must
evaluate and provide approval of nal installation
where variations to these instructions are necessary.

2. CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
There is no minimum clearance requirement between
the wall/floor opening and the sleeve exterior (with
thermal blanket attached). However, to facilitate
installation, clearances between the wall/floor opening
and the damper sleeve are recommended. although
there is no maximum allowable clearance, the minimum
overlap requirements between the wall/floor and the
flange/retaining angle must be met. On grill mount
installations the flange must overlap the wall/floor by
in. (13mm). On continuous duct installations, the
retaining angles must overlap the wall/floor by 1 in.
(25mm). Because no clearances are required between
the wall/floor opening and the sleeve, dampers may not
be installed in the plane of the wall using this installation
method.

Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
Damper does not
fully open and/or
close
Frame is 'racked' causing blades
to bind on jamb seals
Adjust frame such that it is square and plumb
Actuator linkage loose Close damper, disconnect power, adjust and
tighten linkage
Defective motor Replace
Screws in damper linkage Damper installed too far into wall. Move out
to line as designated on damper label
Contaminants on damper Clean with a non-oil based solvent (see
Damper Maintenance)
RRL or TOR sensor
tripped
Heat Push reset button located on backside of
RRL or TOR
Damper does not
operate
No power supplied to the actuator Add power supply
Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild
detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do
not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the
re or re smoke damper in, not to, the opening in such a
manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper
operation. This is accomplished by allowing the re or re
smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand
and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the
collapse of the hanging system. The following items will
aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and
effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations
within the building. Visually inspect the damper for
damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link
(RRL) is in place or has not activated. Never install a
re damper without the proper UL approved RRL in
place. (RRL is standard control option. These electric
links have a button for resetting.) If damper is furnished
with fusible link, visually inspect the link to verify its not
missing or broken. Replace link as necessary.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift
damper using blades or actuators.
3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating a
No Screw area. Do not install screws into this area as
screws may interfere with unexposed blade linkage and
prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper
and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly
to comply with manufacturers appropriate UL
Classication le number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square
and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper must
not be squeezed or stretched into duct or
opening. Out of square, racked, twisted or misaligned
installations can cause excessive leakage and/or torque
requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and protected
from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and
after installation. Examples of such foreign materials
include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust
b) Drywall dust
c) Firesang materials
d) Wall texture
e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufciently covered as to prevent
overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be
performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt
or foreign material deposits on damper can cause
excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to
exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between the
damper sleeve and the wall or oor opening (annular
space). However, caulking may be applied to the
retaining angles.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRLs and
actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided
for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not
possible to achieve sufcient size access, it will be
necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer
to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must
evaluate and provide approval of nal installation where
variations to these instructions are necessary.
Electrical Guidelines
All wiring shall be done in accordance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70 latest edition, any local
codes that may apply, and wiring diagrams developed
in compliance with the job or project design and
specications.
Safety Caution!
Electrical input may be needed for this equipment. This
work should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Verify power before wiring actuator. Greenheck is not
responsible for any damage to, or failure of the unit
caused by incorrect field wiring. To avoid causing death
or serious bodily harm to building occupants, follow all
instructions carefully. Dampers must close completely to
preserve the integrity of the fire smoke separation.
Electrical Guidelines
29
These instructions apply to 1
1
/2 hour rated combination fire smoke dampers mounted (blades must be vertical) in: masonry,
block, or stud walls. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. Dampers must be installed in accordance with
these instructions to meet the requirements of UL555 and UL555S. The installation of the damper and all duct connections
to the damper sleeve shall conform to the latest editions of NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning
and Ventilating Systems, and the SMACNA Fire, Smoke and Radiation Damper Installation Guide, and UL Classifications
R13317.
Installation - Failure to follow these instructions will void all warranties.
Example: A 12 in. x 12 in. (305mm x 305mm) damper
would require a minimum clearance of
1
/4 in. (6mm.)
A 36 in. x 12 in. (914mm x 350mm) damper would require
a minimum clearance of
1

1. CLEARANCES REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRE DAMPER
SLEEVES AND WALL/FLOOR OPENINGS
Fire damper and sleeve assemblies expand during
periods of intense heat. Therefore, it is essential that
openings in walls or floors be larger than the fire damper
and sleeve assembly to allow for this expansion.
Minimum clearances required between the outside of fire
damper sleeve assemblies and wall/floor openings are:
Galvanized steel fire dampers and sleeves:
1
8 in.
(3mm) per foot of damper width and height with a
minimum clearance of
1
4 in. (6mm), maximum of 1
1
2
in. (38mm).
Recommended clearances, for width and/or height
dimensions of:
1) 36 in. (914mm) or less:
1
2 in. (13mm) clearance
These are total clearances (ignoring fastener heads) and do

5. ACTUATOR CONNECTIONS
Electrical and/or pneumatic connections to damper
actuators should be made in accordance with wiring and
piping diagrams developed in compliance with applicable
codes, ordinances and regulations (see Electrical
Guidelines).
Retaining angle must be attached to the damper using
one or more of the following methods of attachment
(refer to label on outside of sleeve for No Screw area):
Tack or spot welds
#10 (
3
/4 in. max. [19mm]) sheet metal screws

12 in. (305mm) O.C. (on center) maximum for openings of
48 in. W x 32 in. H (1219mm x 812mm) and less, and 6 in.
(152mm) O.C. for openings 100 in. W x 32 in. H (2540mm
x 32mm) or less. The angles must be attached to all 4
sides of the sleeve with butt joints at each corner. A
minimum of two attachments are required on each side,
top and bottom. Ensure that attachment device does not
interfere with the operation of the damper and the free
movement of the damper blades. The angles need not be
attached to each other at the corners. Do not secure the
retaining angle to the fire separation (see Fig. 3).
Retaining angles should not be fastened to the wall
material. The angles should only sandwich the wall and
allow for damper expansion during periods of intense
heat.

6. CONNECTION AND OPERATION OF TEMPERATURE
RESPONSE DEVICES (RRL STANDARD, OCI OPTION,
AND TOR OPTION)
RRL - Dampers will be supplied with a thermostat-type
temperature response device, as a standard. The device
is a RRL (resettable link device), which only incorporates
one thermostat and therefore the damper remains closed
as soon as its sensor temperature is reached. The RRL
does not contain blade indication switches. Refer to Fig.
4 for wiring of the RRL thermostat.
OCI - The OCI (open or closed indicator) option contains
a single pole, double throw switch used to indicate the
damper blade position. The switch provides a positive
open or closed signal when used in conjunction with
remote indicator lights. Refer to Fig. 5 & 6 for wiring of
the OCI option.
TOR - The TOR (temperature override device) option
incorporates two thermostats with fixed settings (usually
165F [74C] and 350F [177]). The primary sensor
(the sensor with the lower temperature setting) can be
bypassed by an external electrical signal allowing the
damper to reopen until the temperature reaches the
setting of the secondary sensor (the sensor with the
higher temperature setting). When the temperature of the
secondary sensor is exceeded the damper closes and
remains closed thereafter (Figure 7).
The TOR assembly also contains a single pole, double
throw switch used to indicate damper blade position. The
switch provides a positive open or closed signal when
used in conjunction with remote indicator lights. See
Fig. 7 for wiring of the TOR thermostats and indicator
switches.
If either the TOR or the RRL is ordered with a pneumatic
actuator, an EP switch is required with an appropriate
electric power circuit to allow the electric thermostat to
control the pneumatic actuator.
PRV - The PRV (pneumatic relief valve) option is heat
responsive device used with pneumatic actuators. This
can be used in place of EP switch where a RRL is used.
The PRV activates when temperature in excess of the
temperature of the fusible link are detected. When the
fusible link melts, air from the actuator is exhausted to
close the dampers. Pneumatic actuators are to be piped
per local code.

Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild
detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do
not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
Actuator manufacturer recommendations.
Damper Troubleshooting

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the fire smoke or fire damper in the opening in such a manner
as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. This is accomplished by allowing the fire or fire smoke
damper in rated separation openings to expand and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the collapse
of the hanging system. The following items will aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and effective
manner.
These instructions apply to 1 hour rated combination fire smoke and fire dampers mounted in: 1) masonry, block or
stud walls and 2) concrete floors or ceilings. Specific requirements in these instructions are mandatory. Dampers must be
installed in accordance with these instructions to meet the requirements of UL 555 and UL 555S. The installation of the
damper and all duct connections to the damper sleeve shall conform to the latest editions of NFPA 90A, Standard
for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, and the SMACNA Fire, Smoke and Radiation Damper
Installation Guide, and UL Classifications R13317.
Installation - Failure to follow these instructions will void all warranties.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations
within the building. Visually inspect the damper for
damage and verify that the fusible link is in place or
has not separated. If fusible link is not present or has
separated, replace link. Never install a fire damper
without the proper UL approved fusible link in place.
(Fusible link is standard control option. An electric
link may have been provided. Electric links have a
button for resetting.)
2) Lift or handle damper using the frame. Do not lift
damper using blades or actuators.
3) Do not install screws into the main body area of
the damper frame as screws may interfere with and
prevent damper blade from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper
assembly in the wall. Install accordingly to comply
with manufacturers appropriate UL Classification file
number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening free of
distortion or other misalignment. Damper must not be
squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. Out of
round, racked, twisted or misaligned installations can
cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements
to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and
protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials
prior to and after installation. Examples of such
foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust
b) Drywall dust
c) Firesafing materials
d) Wall texture
e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent
overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be
performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt
or foreign material deposits on damper can cause
excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to
exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between
the damper sleeve and the wall or floor opening
(annular space). However, caulking may be applied to
the retaining plates.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that fusible links,
RRLs, actuators, and linkages can be maintained)
must be provided for damper inspection and
servicing. Where it is not possible to achieve
sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a
removable section of duct. (Refer to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must
evaluate and provide approval of final installation
where variations to these instructions are necessary.

of the damper blade remains within
the plane of the wall/floor
IMPORTANT SAFETY DANGER! : To avoid
causing death or serious bodily harm to
building occupants, do not insert screws
into the damper frame unless used for duct
connection within 2 in. (51mm) of the frame
end.
The sleeve may extend a maximum of 16 in. (406mm)
beyond the wall or floor on the actuator side of the
damper and a maximum of 6 in. (152mm) on the
opposite side.
4. SECURING THE DAMPER/SLEEVE ASSEMBLY
TO WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS
Damper assemblies must be installed in wall/floor
openings using a single retaining plate on either side of
the wall/floor or by using a retaining plate on both sides
of the wall/floor. The use of a second retaining plate is
allowed, but is not necessary. A single retaining plate
is provided with the dampers. A second retaining plate
can be ordered as an option. The outside dimension of
the supplied retainer plate is nominal dia. + 4 inches
(114mm).
3. ROUND DUCT CONNECTIONS
Round duct connections to shall be attached with #8 or
#10 sheet metal screws as follows:
Ducts 22 in. (558mm) dia. and smaller shall have
three screws.
Ducts larger than 22 in. (558mm) dia. up to and
including 24 in. (610mm) dia. shall have five screws.
NOTE: All connections described may have duct
sealant, PA2084T duct sealant adhesive manufactured
by Precision, DP1010 water base duct sealant
manufactured by Design Polymetrics, Grey Pookie,
Ductmate PROseal

,

or CL Ward S Seal applied in
accordance with SMACNA recommendations.
1. CLEARANCES REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRE
DAMPER SLEEVES AND WALL/FLOOR
OPENINGS
Fire damper assemblies expand during periods of
intense heat. Therefore, it is essential that openings in
walls or floors be larger than the fire damper assembly
to allow for this expansion. The wall/floor opening
must be a minimum of 7/8 in. (22mm) larger than the
outside diameter of the damper. Refer to Section 4 for
additional installation considerations.
38
6. CONNECTION AND OPERATION OF
TEMPERATURE RESPONSE DEVICES (Fusible
Link, RRL OPTION, OCI OPTION, TOR
OPTION, and PRV OPTION)
RRL - Dampers will be supplied with a fusible link
temperature response device, as a standard. An
optional thermostat type temperature response
device may have been installed. The device is a RRL
(resettable link device), which only incorporates one
thermostat and therefore the damper remains closed
as soon as its sensor temperature is reached. The
RRL does not contain blade indication switches. Refer
to Fig. 4.
OCI - The OCI (open or closed indicator) option
contains a single pole, double throw switch used
to indicate the damper blade position. The switch
provides a positive open or closed signal when used
in conjunction with remote indicator lights. Refer to
Fig. 5 & 6.
5. ACTUATOR CONNECTIONS
Electrical and/or pneumatic connections to damper
actuators should be made in accordance with wiring
and piping diagrams developed in compliance with
applicable codes, ordinances and regulations (see
Electrical Guidelines).

Fig. 7 TOR Wiring
TOR - The TOR (temperature override device) option
incorporates two thermostats with fixed settings (usually
165F [74C] and 350F [177C]). The primary sensor
(the sensor with the lower temperature setting) can be
bypassed by an external electrical signal allowing the
damper to reopen until the temperature reaches the
setting of the secondary sensor (the sensor with the
higher temperature setting). When the temperature of the
secondary sensor is exceeded the damper closes and
remains closed thereafter (Fig. 7)
The TOR assembly also contains a single pole, double
throw switch used to indicate damper blade position.
The switch provides a positive open or closed signal
when used in conjunction with remote indicator lights.
See Fig. 7 for wiring of the TOR thermostats and
indicator switches.

PRV - The PRV (pneumatic relief valve) option is heat
responsive device used with pneumatic actuators. This
can be used in place of EP switch where a RRL is used.
The PRV activates when temperature in excess of the
temperature of the fusible link are detected. When the
fusible link melts, air from the actuator is exhausted to
close the dampers. Pneumatic actuators are to be piped
per local code.

Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild
detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb
seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
Actuator manufacturer recommendations.
Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
Damper does not fully
open and/or close
Frame is 'racked' causing blades to bind on
jamb seals
Adjust frame such that it is square and plumb
Actuator linkage loose Close damper, disconnect power, adjust and tighten link-
age
Defective motor Replace
Screws in damper linkage Damper installed too far into wall. Move out to line as
designated on damper label
Contaminants on damper Clean with a non-oil based solvent (see Damper Mainte-
nance)
RRL or TOR sensor tripped Heat Push reset button located on backside of RRL or TOR
Damper does not operate No power supplied to the actuator Add power supply

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the
re or re smoke damper in, not to, the opening in such a
manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper
operation. This is accomplished by allowing the re or re
smoke damper in rated separation openings to expand
and for the connecting duct to separate in the event of the
collapse of the hanging system. The following items will
aid in completing the damper installation in a timely and
effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations
within the building. Visually inspect the damper for
damage and verify that the Reusable Resettable Link
(RRL) is in place or has not activated. Never install a
re damper without the proper UL approved RRL in
place. (RRL is standard control option. These electric
links have a button for resetting.) If damper is furnished
with fusible link, visually inspect the link to verify its not
missing or broken. Replace link as necessary.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift
damper using blades or actuators.
3) Damper has label on outside of sleeve indicating a
No Screw area. Do not install screws into this area as
screws may interfere with unexposed blade linkage and
prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper has label indicating position of damper
and sleeve assembly in the wall. Install accordingly
to comply with manufacturers appropriate UL
Classication le number.
5) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square
and free of twist or other misalignment. Damper must
not be squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. Out
of square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations
can cause excessive leakage and/or torque
requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
6) Damper and actuator must be kept clean and
protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials
prior to and after installation. Examples of such foreign
materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust
b) Drywall dust
c) Firesang materials
d) Wall texture
e) Paint overspray
7) Damper should be sufciently covered as to prevent
overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be
performed within 5 feet of the damper. Excessive dirt
or foreign material deposits on damper can cause
excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to
exceed damper/actuator design.
8) Caulking is not necessary, nor is it allowed, between
the damper sleeve and the wall or oor opening
(annular space). However, caulking may be applied to
the retaining angles.
9) ACCESS: Suitable access (such that RRLs and
actuators can be maintained, etc.) must be provided
for damper inspection and servicing. Where it is not
possible to achieve sufcient size access, it will be
necessary to install a removable section of duct. (Refer
to NFPA 90A).
10) The Code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) must
evaluate and provide approval of nal installation
where variations to these instructions are necessary.

These instructions apply to 1 hour rated combination re smoke dampers mounted in masonry, block or metal stud walls,
or concrete oors. Specic requirements in these instructions are mandatory. These instructions meet the requirements of
UL555. Installation shall comply with the requirements of NFPA 90A (Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems)
and UL listing R13317.
Installation - Failure to follow these instructions will void all warranties.
1. DAMPER IS INSTALLED OUTSIDE OF WALL PLANE
GFSD-XXX
Figure 1 shows two approved installations for
combination fire smoke dampers: 1) Through the
grille access and 2) installation in continuing duct.
In grille-mount applications, the damper actuator can
be accessed by removing the grille and the actuator
compartment cover plate. To provide access to the
damper actuator for continuing ductwork, refer to the
requirements of NFPA 90A.
2. CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
There is no minimum clearance requirement between the
wall/floor opening and the sleeve exterior (with thermal
blanket attached). However, to facilitate installation,
clearances between the wall/floor opening and the
damper sleeve are recommended. Although there is no
maximum allowable clearance, the minimum overlap
requirements between the wall/floor and the flange/
retaining angle must be met. On grille-mount installations
the flange must overlap the wall/floor by in. (6mm).

3. DUCT TO SLEEVE CONNECTIONS
Dampers are supplied with actuators (on applicable
models) and sleeves from the factory and can be
installed without the need for additional field installed
sleeves.
Sleeve gauges of 16 or 14 (1.5mm - 2mm) are to be
used. UL Standard 555 requires all ducts to terminate at
fire damper sleeves. Sleeve thickness must not be less
than the gauge of the connecting duct.
Duct to sleeve breakaway connections must be of the
type described on page 5 . Factory furnished round duct
collars on type R and CR dampers are also considered
to be breakaway connections and may be used.

Traditional Breakaway Style Transverse Joints
Transverse joints illustrated at right have always been
approved as breakaway connections. SMACNA testing
has also approved the following variations as breakaway
connections.
The breakaway connections shown (Figure 7) can be
applied with maximum of two #10 (19mm) sheet metal
screws on each side and on the bottom located in the
center of the slip pocket and penetrating both sides of
the slip pocket.

Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
Damper does not fully
open and/or close
Frame is 'racked' causing blades to
bind on jamb seals
Adjust frame such that it is square and plumb
Actuator linkage loose Close damper, disconnect power, adjust and
tighten linkage
Defective motor Replace
Screws in damper linkage Damper installed too far into wall. Move out to line
as designated on damper label
Contaminants on damper Clean with a non-oil based solvent (see Damper
Maintenance)
RRL or TOR sensor
tripped
Heat Push reset button located on backside of RRL or
TOR
Damper does not
operate
No power supplied to the actuator Add power supply
Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild
detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb seals, do
not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
