Installation detail:
Fire Door Perimeter Upgrade Seal
It is not necessary to remove the door from its hinges.
Note: For effective operation, the KG4002 Intumescent Seal requires a
minimum of 2mm clearance between the door frame reveal and door edge.
Step 1
Remove the seal from the packaging and measure the reveal of the existing
head (top) and jambs (sides) of the door frame to determine the seal length
required.
Step 2 Clean the frame using Isopropyl alcohol or similar to ensure it is
free from oil, grease or dust and if painted, well cured. (This is most
important!)
Step 3 Using scissors, trim the KG4002 to the opening height and width of
the door reveal.
Step 4 Starting with the long vertical jambs, peel back the self-adhesive
backing tape from both legs by approximately 150mm.
Step 5 Push the seal into the top corner of the frame reveal as tightly
as possible.
Step 6 Progressively pull the backing tape off the seal while running a
finger or appropriate blunt tool down each side of the profile whilst ensuring
that the adhesive sticks evenly to each surface.
Step 7 Apply the seal to the head reveal of the frame as per step 6.
Note
It should be noted that in certain applications adhesion may be compromised if
frames have been treated with proprietary anti-graffiti paint systems.
Recommendations as to methods for use of materials and construction details
are based on the experience and
knowledge of Kilargo and are given in good faith as a general guide and
service to designers, contractors and manufacturers. Kilargo reserves the
right to make alterations or delete any installation detail without prior
notice.
Important
Australian fire door designs are proprietary by nature and therefore it is a
requirement that door seals and other items of essential hardware are tested
in accordance with AS1530/4 with each fire door manufacturers’ door type to
ensure that they do not compromise the assembly’s established fire resistance.
Do not remove and relocate seal.
Do not stretch the seal.
Ensure that the installation of this product does not impede the opening or
closing of the door. Periodic inspection and cleaning is recommended to fully
maintain this sealing system. Normally an annual inspection is sufficient. For
fire and smoke sealing applications, refer to local regulatory authority
standards.
