aThis assembly was evaluated without the use of an artificial bottom seal. When installed with the manufacturer-provided brushes and neoprene bottom seal, it may be installed in areas where pressurization is provided to control smoke movement in accordance with Section 4.3.2 of NFPA 105. For installations where pressurization is not used to control smoke movement, a seal at the bottom edge of the assembly is optional.

INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS
When mounted to steel supporting structure, Mounting Angles are anchored with minimum 5/8" diameter A325 bolts spaced maximum 16 inches on-center. Structural adequacy of steel supporting structure is to be determined by others and is not evaluated as part of this Listing.
When mounted to concrete supporting structure, Mounting Angles are anchored with 5/8" diameter Simpson Strong-Bolt 2 wedge anchors spaced maximum 16 inches on-center. The tested condition utilized 4000-psi strength concrete, an embedment length of 5-1/8 inches, and an edge distance to the opening of 7-1/2 inches. Adequacy of concrete supporting structure is to be determined by others and is not evaluated as part of this Listing.
Alternate anchoring to supporting structure that maintains the maximum spacing of 16 inches on-center is to be designed by a registered design professional for pull-out, shear, and placement to resist the design loads in accordance with ICC 500-2014 Section 301 and ICC 500-2020 Section 304.
Installation shall follow these listing procedures and the manufacturer's instructions provided with each assembly. In the event of a conflict, these listing procedures govern.
