ThermShield MF(1 & 2) Installation Method 

Applies to...

•  Actionair ThermShield FD
•  Actionair ThermShield FD-C

Health and safety

•  This process must be undertaken by competent 

persons. More than one person may be required to 
ensure the safe handling of large dampers and other 
materials. Use must be made of access equipment to 
ensure unsafe practices are not used to approach walls 

or difficult access areas.

•  Standard site PPE should be used (minimum steel toe 

cap boots, hard hat); together with any protective 
eyewear, gloves and masks, when drilling or cutting is 
being undertaken. The latter should also be used when 

handing the wall construction materials, as defined by 

the material suppliers. If loud equipment is being used, 
hearing protection should be used.

•  All waste materials should be collected and disposed of 

as defined by the relevant supplier.

•  Actuators: All wiring should be carried out in 

accordance with the wiring details provided by the IEE 
and BS regulations and by a competent person. Care 
must be taken when installing and inspecting dampers, 
as they are likely to close without warning due to 
loss of electrical power or a temperature rise in the 
ductwork. This is their prime function. Do not insert 

any items, fingers or limbs between the blades. Larger 

dampers must be handled in accordance with current 
regulations and good practice due to weight.
