Actionair DWFX-F Installation Guide

Vertical Damper, Ablative Batt in a 

Masonry Wall

Actionair SmokeShield PTC - [AA/F10712]
Actionair FireShield - [AA/F10713]

Installation Method

1. 

Rivet steel duct (by others) to damper spigot on non-

access side, using steel rivets. 

2. Suspend the damper from the ceiling, using 10mm 

studding drop rods, and support the damper from 

lateral movement. 

3. Make sure the area within the aperture and the 

damper casing is free from any debris and remove any 

dust. 

4. Where the coated BATT will contact the surrounding 

aperture apply Rockwool Fire pro glue to the outer 

edges of the BATT. Where two coated BATTS are in 

contact, use Rockwool fire pro glue as the joint adhe

-

sive. In both cases ensure that an even cover is achie-

ved over the entire thickness of the BATT. 

5. 

Continue installation of Rockwool ablative coated 

BATT, until aperture is completely filled. 

6. 

Apply a bead of Rockwool acoustic intumescent sealant 

to both sides of the wall, approximately 15mm wide 

around perimeter of the aperture between wall and 

BATT, ensuring that any gaps between the BATT and 

surrounding edges are fully filled. 

7. 

Allow 12 hours for BATT penetration seal to cure prior

Description:

If  your proposed installation details differ from

that shown here, please discuss this with the 

Building Control Authority (BCA), referencing 

this documentation, associated fire tests, 

assessments, and other documentation shown

below. Deviation from this drawing requires 

the approval of the relevant authority.

Installation Detail

Connecting ductwork omitted for clarity.  

Ductwork must be independently supported.  

There must be an appropriate break-away joint

between the damper and connecting ductwork 

on both sides of assembly.  Aluminium rivets or

plastic cleats, clips, clamps and bolts etc.  

should be used for this, unless fire resisting 

ductwork is being used where fire resisting 

fixings should be used.  A minimum of 200 mm

between fire dampers installed in separate 

ducts and 75 mm between fire damper and a 

construction element (wall/floor).

to removing any lateral damper supports.

8. Connecting ductwork omitted for clarity. Ductwork 

must be independently supported. There must be an 

appropriate break-away joint between the damper and 

connecting ductwork on both sides of assembly. Alu-

minium rivets or plastic cleats, clips, clamps and bolts 

etc. should be used for this, unless fire resisting duct-

work is being used where fire resisting fixings should 

be used. A minimum of 200 mm between fire dampers 

installed in separate ducts and 75 mm between fire 

damper and a construction element (wall/floor).

For SmokeShield installations, please reference the 

actuator installation information on page 11.
