SWING-TYPE FIRE DOOR SLABS:  

General Information: 

These door slabs systems are categorized as Category “A” door slabs.  These door slabs systems have been evaluated without an edge-sealing system between the door and frame.  These door slabs systems have been evaluated with a sealing system (concealed or visible) into the edge of the door by the licensed manufacturer or machining distributor.

Meeting edges of pairs do not require an astragal but a Listed astragal may be added to any pair of doors as long as the astragal is rated at an equivalent or greater fire resistance. 

These door slabs systems are eligible for use in any Category “C’ – Standard Frame.  These doors may also be installed in frames listed for Category “C” – Proprietary in accordance with the frame manufacturers’ individual listing.

These door slabs systems are eligible to bear the “S” (for Smoke & Draft Control assemblies) if a listed Category “H” – Smoke and Draft Gasket has been applied to the assembly.  Please refer to the individual gasket manufacturers’ Category “H” listings.

All door slabs systems listed below have been evaluated and tested to comply with the following standards CAN4-S104, UL 10(c), UBC 7-2 (1997) Part 1, NFPA 252 and ASTM E2074-00, “Standard Method of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies” (Positive Pressure) and CAN/ULC S104, UL 10(b), UBC 7-2 (1994), and NFPA 252, " Standard Method of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies” (Neutral Pressure), including hose stream.

Doors slab systems used in neutral pressure applications may not require the use of intumescent materials regarding the edge sealing between the perimeter of the door and the frame, smoke gasketing, or a combination thereof.  Options include frame mounting the intumescent and/or smoke gasketing, mortising the intumescent into the door perimeter, concealing the intumescent with the stile(s), or a combination of these methods.

Doors labeled for positive pressure applications must include installation instructions to be furnished by the door labeler.  Unless otherwise noted in the door’s installation instructions, all intumescent materials and smoke/draft control gasketing used in the assembly are to be installed per their respective manufacturers’ instructions.
