FR-S Installation

Installation step of the FR-S access door

Remove the coating using the calcium silicate cover of the access door as a template. Remove any eventual metal mesh placed between the coating layers as well. Make sure that you achieve a clean cut in order to avoid important gaps between the access door calcium silicate cover and the coating applied around the duct.

Apply the self-adhesive template as depicted in the center of the opening.

Cut the opening into the duct following the edges of the template. Make sure that the coating on the duct is not damaged during this operation. It is not recommended to use a jig saw, as the vibrations could loosen the coating, necessitating a new coating application.

Untighten the knobs and insert the inner door panel inside the opening at an angle.

Straighten the door, push it slightly to center it and then tighten the knobs firmly.

Place the calcium silicate lid on the bolts and make sure it fits well against the duct wall. Then tighten the fire-rated knobs till the lid is pressed flat against the duct wall. The inevitable gap between the lid and the coating around the duct must be filled. To do so, generously moisten coating remainings, fill gaps and let the material dry before opening the access door.
