Information on delivery
The thermal insulation provided ex-works comprises
closed cell insulating material AF/Armaflex® (Arma-
cell®). This flexible material has a thickness of 32 mm
and is completely glued.
The insulating material is an elastomeric foam on a
base of synthetic rubber. The surfaces of these mate-
rials have limited resistance against mechanical loads.
Even when the insulating material is treated with care,
there is a risk of contamination, pressure marks or sur-
face damage during factory processing or transport.
However, this shall not constitute justification for a com-
plaint.
Deeper cuts and joints to insulating material that
happen on site can be closed using suitable
Armaflex® adhesive RS850 (Armacell®).
General installation information
The actuators and thermal release unit are not cov-
ered in insulating material ex-works. If necessary, on
site covers should be designed so that these areas
remain accessible and the functioning of the fire
damper is not affected.
The fire damper flanges should be incorporated into
the on-site duct insulation.
Condensate in the area of the outside and exhaust
air ducts can lead to damage to the products used
or to the wall or ceiling slab. The fire dampers
should therefore be incorporated into the on-site
building measures for the condensate drainage.
Be sure to comply with the relevant national guide-
lines and regulations for combustible building mate-
rials.
The fire dampers must be protected against weather
conditions. The use of external weather louvres in
commercially available designs offer good protection
against directly penetrating rain, but generally
cannot prevent the entry of rainwater spray under
certain conditions.
This is dependent on:
– Installation height
– Wind direction
– Rain intensity and angle of incidence

2 Installation
2.1 Installation of FK-EU
Fig. 3: FK-EU with thermal insulation
1a FK-EU
2.1 Mortar or gypsum mortar
3.1 Solid wall
6.16 Insulating strips, Armaflex AF / Armaflex Ultima,
around the perimeter, actuator and release
mechanism as well as inspection accesses must
be accessible
A Installation side
B Operating side
Additional requirements
Solid wall
Casing length L = 305 or 500 mm
Attach the insulating strips provided (6.16) on site and close off the overlaps with reverse adhesive coating.
Depending on the local conditions, insulation for larger wall areas may be required. Insulation provided on site
can be installed up to the insulated dire damper casing instead of using insulating strips.
Install the insulation provided on site, e.g. for the ducting or the extension piece (9.2), without gaps.
* Mortar (2.1) over the insulation is permitted
Note:
These instructions supplement the installation and operating manual of the FK-EU. They show the installation of
the FK-EU fire damper with thermal insulation in a solid wall. The installation situation shown is representative for
all installation situations and support structures in accordance with the installation and operating manual FK-EU.

Additional requirements
Solid wall
Casing length L = 495 or 550 mm
Install the insulating strips (6.16) on site and close off the joint with Armaflex adhesive or with the Armaflex tape
(6.22) provided.
Depending on the local conditions, insulation for larger wall areas may be required. Insulation provided on site
can be installed up to the insulated dire damper casing instead of using insulating strips.
Install the insulation provided on site, e.g. for the ducting or the extension piece (9.2), without gaps.
Note:
This installation manual supplements the installation and operating manual of the FKR-EU. It shows the installa-
tion of the FKR-EU fire damper with thermal insulation in a solid wall. The installation situation shown is represen-
tative for all installation situations and support structures in accordance with the installation and operating manual
FKR-EU.
