PART II – PRODUCTS
-
2.01 Curtain
- Curtain will be composed of interlocking curved [flat] slats [22, 20, 18 gauge galvanized steel] [22, 20 stainless steel] slats, roll-formed per ASTM standards. Ends of alternate slats will be fitted with metal endlocks.
- Bottom Bar will consist of two equal steel [stainless steel] angles, .121" minimum thickness, to stiffen curtain, with optional astragal. When required for additional security, provide [slide bolts] [cylinder locks] on the bottom bar operable from [coil side] [both sides].
-
2.02 Guides
- Guides will be roll-formed steel structural grade, three angle assembly of steel [stainless steel] to form a slot of sufficient depth to retain curtains in guides and to allow expansion at all bolt connections. (Perimeter brush seals may be installed to reduce smoke/air infiltration around door opening).
-
2.03 Brackets
- Brackets will be of 3/16 [1/4"] minimum thick steel plates, with permanently sealed ball bearings. Designed to enclose ends of coil and provide support for counterbalance pipe at each end.
-
2.04 Counterbalance
- Curtain to be coiled on a pipe of sufficient size to carry door load with deflection not to exceed .033" per foot of door span and to be correctly balanced by helical springs, oil tempered torsion type. Cast iron barrel plugs will be used to anchor springs to tension shaft and pipe.
-
2.05 Hood
- Hood will be minimum 24-gauge [galvanized] [stainless steel] sheet metal, flanged at top for attachment to header and flanged at bottom to provide longitudinal stiffness. Hood will enclose curtain coil and counterbalance mechanism. All FM hoods will be furnished with a steel hood baffle.
-
2.06 Finish
- Shop coat of rust inhibitive primer on non-galvanized surfaces and operating mechanisms. Guides and bracket plates will be coated with a flat black prime paint. Stainless steel finish available. Curtain color will be [white] [gray] [beige] [brown] (white, beige, brown only available as 22 gauge). Powder coating is available in 180 colors.
-
2.07 Operation
- Door will be operated by means of [chain hoist with gear drive reduction] [motor operation] [lift up] [crank]. Optional [electrical] [pneumatic] sensing edge to be attached to bottom bar to [stop] [stop and reverse] the door when it contacts an object during the closing cycle.
-
2.08 Release Mechanism
- Doors will be equipped with FireStar release mechanism, requiring only one cable to be routed to the operated side (cable not required to be routed to adjusting wheel side.) Doors will close by a thermally actuated link rated at 165 degrees F, or by an optional listed releasing device, or by manually operating the release handle. All spring tension shall be maintained when the release mechanism is activated. After closing by manual operation of release handle, the door shall be able to be reset by one person from one side of the door (re-engaging the release handle).
-
2.09 Governor
- If required by the size of the door, a viscous governor will be furnished to regulate the rate of descent of the door in a quiet manner. It will be the engagement type which is not engaged during normal door operation, but which after cable release, will retard the speed during automatic door closure to under 2 per second and not less than 6" per second.
-
2.10 Labels
- Rolling fire doors will bear the 3⁄4 (three-quarter) hour, 1-1⁄2 (one and one-half) hour, 3 (three) hour or 4 (four) hour label provided they are <= 12 high, <= 136" wide. They will bear an oversize tag if they are over 12 high or 136" wide. Rolling fire doors will be manufactured in strict accordance with the requirements of Underwriters Laboratories-listed procedures or Factory Mutual-approved procedures, and will bear the UL or FM label (tag). FM label is available for the 3-hour fire door only.
-
2.11 Locking
- [Chain-hoist door will have chain keepers suitable for padlocks by others.] [Electric-motor operation doors will lock through the operator gearing.] [Cylinder locks can be provided with the doors.]
Note: When specifying locks on electric-motor operated doors, electric interlocks should also be specified to prevent operation when lock bolts are engaged in the guides, thus preventing damage to the curtain and/or operator.
- [Chain-hoist door will have chain keepers suitable for padlocks by others.] [Electric-motor operation doors will lock through the operator gearing.] [Cylinder locks can be provided with the doors.]
