Product presentation CR2
Product presentation CR2
Circular fire damper available in the largest dimensions (up to a diameter of 630 mm) with a fire resistance up to 120 minutes. Its
refractory tunnel is made of galvanised steel and its blade consists of asbestos-free panels, which are resistant to humidity.
Fire dampers are installed where air ducts penetrate fire-resistant compartment walls. Their role is to restore the fire resistance grade
of the penetrated wall and to prevent smoke propagation. Fire dampers are distinguished by their degree of fire resistance, by their
aeraulic properties as well as by their installation ease. Rf-Technologies’ fire dampers are all CE marked. They can be equipped with
various types of mechanisms depending on the specific needs linked to the project or to the local regulations.

Storage and handling
Storage and handling
As this product is a safety element, it should be stored and handled with care.
Avoid:
• any kind of impact or damage
• contact with water
• deformation of the casing
It is recommended:
• to unload in a dry area
• not to flip or roll the product to move it
• not to use the damper as a scaffold, working table, etc.
• not to store smaller dampers inside larger ones
Installation
General points
∎The installation must comply with the installation manual and the classification report.
∎Axis orientation: see the declaration of performance.
∎Avoid obstruction of adjoining ducts.
∎Product installation: always with closed damper blade.
∎Verify if the blade can move freely.
∎Please observe safety distances with respect to other construction elements. The operating mechanism must also remain
accessible: allow for a clearance of 200 mm around the housing.
∎The air tightness class will be maintained if the damper is installed according to the installation manual.
∎Rf-t fire dampers are always tested in standardised constructions according to EN 1366-2. The achieved results are valid for similar
supporting constructions with a fire resistance, thickness and density equal or superior to the supporting construction used
during the test.
∎The damper must remain accessible for inspection and maintenance.
∎Schedule at least 2 visual checks each year.

1. Principle
According to the European test standard, a fire damper must
be installed at a minimum distance of 75 mm from an adjacent
wall and 200 mm from another damper, unless the solution was
tested at a shorter distance.
This range of Rf-t fire dampers has been successfully tested
and can be installed in a vertical or horizontal supporting
construction, at a distance below the minimum set by the
standard.
For circular dampers, the minimal distance is set to 30 mm.
A
B
2. Certified solution
For the Rf-t fire dampers, the solution consists of the following
elements: A: Universal sealing for minimal distance; B:
Sealing compliant with existing classifications (Declaration of
Performance).
A. Sealing of the opening at the side with minimal distances
between damper and wall/ceiling or another fire damper: rigid
stone wool panels (150 kg/m³) are applied to a depth of min.
400 mm, of which 150 mm on the mechanism side of the wall.
On the non-mechanism side of the wall, the stone wool panels
must be at least flush with the wall.
The surface of this sealing is set between the axes (centres) of
the dampers.
B. Sealing of the rest of the opening according to the existing
classifications for the fire damper (Declaration of Performance).
This also applies to circular dampers that are mounted at a
minimum distance from one another (30 to 200 mm) but at a
distance greater than 75 mm from a wall/ceiling.
Detailed information for each wall/sealing combination can be
found in the respective installation methods.

3. Restrictions
The orientation of the blade axis should be horizontal or
oriented at a maximum of 45°.
A maximum of 3 circular dampers can be installed at a
minimum distance from one another, both vertically and
horizontally (with a maximum cluster of 4 dampers).
Note: when sealing the opening with panels of fire resistant
stone wool, the maximum number of dampers also depends
on the maximum “blank seal” allowed for the selected sealing
material. Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for this
information.
