TAMCO UL/ULC APPROVED SMOKE DAMPER | Installation Guidelines
For Series 1000 SM & 1000 SM-M
Applies to all Options and Install Types
1
>Any alteration to or deviation from TAMCO's UL Classified, Smoke
Damper Installation Guidelines must be approved by the local AHJ
(Authority Having Jurisdiction).
>Angle clips described in these installation guidelines are minimum
16 ga (1.5 mm) zinc-plated or stainless steel or .125” (3 mm) extruded
aluminum. Angle legs are to be a minimum 1” x 1” (25.4 mm x
25.4 mm) and are to be a minimum ½” (12.7 mm) wide with 0.15"
(4 mm) diameter screw holes. Continuous or full-length zinc-plated,
extruded aluminum, or stainless steel angles are also acceptable.
>Smoke dampers must be installed at, or adjacent to, but no more
than 24" (609 mm) from the point where the duct or opening passes
through the smoke barrier. This must be done in accordance with
NFPA 90A.
>Duct air inlets, outlets or branches shall not be located between the
smoke damper and the smoke barrier.
>Smoke dampers must not be installed in fiberglass-lined ducts in a
manner that will damage the lining material, or interfere with damper
blade operation.
>Provide a duct hanger at a smoke damper location, when the duct
strength is inadequate for the damper and its operator.
>An access door must be provided, if the damper actuator is mounted
inside the duct.
GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES:
&
>Smoke dampers must be installed square and free from racking, to
ensure proper operation and performance.
>Dampers must be installed without stretching or compression, to
allow them to maintain their original factory adjustment, thereby
retaining their low leakage rating.
>TAMCO Smoke Dampers are approved to be installed either standing
in the vertical plane, or lying in the horizontal plane. If smoke
dampers are installed standing in the vertical plane, damper blades
must be horizontal.
>Only lift dampers via sleeve or damper frame. Never lift damper by
holding on to the damper blades or actuator.
>All connections on the back or rear side of the smoke damper frame
(opposite to sticker side), where the damper makes contact with the
duct, sleeve, or substrate must be sealed using a ⅛" (3.2 mm) bead of
silicone sealant. (See "Installation Procedures for Smoke Damper Install
Types" for recommended silicone seal brands.)
>When installing a multiple-section smoke damper assembly, all joints
where damper frames meet must be sealed, using a bead of silicone
sealant.
>TAMCO Smoke Dampers must be kept in an environment that is free
of dirt, dust, wall texture, paint over-spray, and other contaminants,
prior to and after installation, to ensure proper damper operation and
to guard against damage.
MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS:
&
>When smoke dampers arrive at the job site, inspect all material for
obvious and hidden damage. Report any damage or missing parts to
TAMCO Customer Service.
>Store dampers indoors to protect them from environmental
conditions and to avoid damage.
>All moving parts of the damper must be inspected and cycled at
intervals not greater than every twelve (12) months or in accordance
with the latest edition of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, local codes and the
actuator manufacturer.
>Dry lubricants are recommended.
>Smoke dampers do not typically require maintenance, if the
environment they are installed in is kept dry and clean.

²APPROVED SILICONE CAULK:
 Dow Corning: RTV Silicone Silastic 732, Xiameter 732, Xiameter SLT 5100
 Momentive
Performance Materials: RTV 108
a. Measure and if necessary, adjust the duct or opening to ensure that it
is true and square.
b. Run a bead of silicone caulk² around the inside perimeter of the
flange, where it comes into contact with the damper frame, to
prevent leakage at the connection point between the duct and
damper frame. This step may be performed now or after step "d",
once the smoke damper has been fastened in place.
c. Position the Flanged to Duct mount type smoke damper, so that it is
adjacent to the flanged duct.
d. Secure the flanged connections together using, as a minimum; #8
sms screws, 3 / 16” (4.8 mm) rivets, #12 bolts/nuts, flange mount system,
or tack welds, placed at 12” (305 mm) oc intervals. Fasteners should
begin at no more than 6” (152 mm) from the corners. A minimum of 1
fastener is required per side.
a. Dampers should be ordered from the factory with extended rear
flanges if they are to be wall mounted.
b. Measure both the wall opening and the damper ID, to ensure that the
two dimensions are identical.
c. Run a bead of silicone caulk² around the perimeter of the damper
flange face, where it will come into contact with the substrate upon
installation. This is to prevent leakage between the damper and the
wall. Caulking may be applied at this step, or following step "e", once
the smoke damper has been fastened in place.
d. Place the damper in the desired location on the wall, so that the
inside of the damper's frame aligns with the edges of the wall
opening.
e. Secure the damper to the wall using, as a minimum; #8 sms screws,
3
/ 16” (4.8 mm) rivets, #12 bolts/nuts, ¼" (6.4 mm) Tapcons, or tack
welds, placed at 12” (305 mm) oc intervals. Fasteners should begin at
no more than 6” (152 mm) from the corners. A minimum of 1 fastener
is required per side.
a. Determine the location where the damper is to be installed inside
the duct or sleeve. This location must be within 24" (609 mm) of the
smoke barrier.
b. Slide the damper into pre-determined sleeve or duct location. Ensure
that the damper, sleeve, and/or duct are all square and true.
c. Situate the clips around the back or rear perimeter of the damper
frame, at a maximum of 12” (305 mm) on center (oc) intervals and so
they begin at no more than 6” (152 mm) from the corners. A minimum
of 1 clip is required per side.
d. Fasten clips to the duct first and then to the damper using, as a minimum;
#8 sms screws,
3
/ 16 ”(4.8 mm) rivets, #12 bolts/nuts, or tack welds. Clips
are not required on the front (label) side of the damper.
e. Run a bead of silicone caulk² around the inside perimeter of the back
side of the damper, where it comes into contact with the sleeve or
duct. It is not necessary to caulk around the front (label) side of the
damper. If caulking is applied after installation, it is recommended to
caulk around all clips to minimize leakage.
