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 (3.5 mm). Sleeve inside dimensions must equal
damper outside dimensions.
Sleeves shall extend a maximum of 16 in. (406 mm) beyond the wall or floor on the actuator or manual quadrant 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 or manual quadrant, the sleeve shall also extend a maximum of 16 in. (406 mm) 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. (152
mm) beyond the wall or floor on the side of the damper opposite the actuator or manual quadrant.
2. ATTACHING FIRE DAMPERS 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. (152 mm) on centers and a maximum of 2 in. (51 mm) 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
•
1⁄4in. (6 mm) bolts and nuts
•
3⁄16 in. (4.7 mm) steel pop rivets
Dampers may be mounted either
vertically or horizontally. Blade axis
must always be horizontal.
