Installation
The PKI-C re damper is installed into the duct, in the place where the re-proof wall is, or at the end of the duct
in front of an air valve or a similar outlet.
The duct that holds the re damper must be supported or hung in such a way that the crossing does not carry its
weight. The crossing must not support any part of the surrounding construction or wall which could cause damage
and consequent damper failure.
According to the standard EN 1366-2, the distance between ducts that hold PKI-C or between other objects
that cross the supporting construction must be at least 200 mm.
The distance between the wall/ceiling and the duct that holds PKI-C must be at least 75 mm.
The re damper is embedded into the re partition construction into duct in such a way that when the damper
blades are in the CLOSED position, that will be entirely situated inside the wall.
The gap in the installation opening between the re damper and the wall/ceiling can be increased by up to 50%
of the gap area.
The gap in the installation opening between the duct that holds PKI-C and the wall/ceiling can be decreased
to the smallest amount possible that still provides sufcient space for the installation of the seal.
All PKI-C dampers can be installed with the blade axis in a horizontal position or a vertical position.
Lists of all permitted installation methods are provided on following pages. Every method only applies
to those damper types that are listed in the corresponding paragraph’s heading.
