Product Description
Special-Lite BasiX Door is a fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) door installed in a Special-Lite tube framing system with an applied stop tested in accordance with UL 1784. The assembly can be placed in either steel or wood stud with gypsum or masonry wall assemblies. The assembly utilizes a tubular aluminum door frame with a pile gasket incorporated in the retainers of the applied stop attached to the frame. The assembly utilizes Pemko HSS2000xS88 combination fire/smoke sealing/gasketing applied to the rabbet of the frame around the entire perimeter of the frame between the door and frame interface and a Hager 750S door sweep at the bottom of the door. The perimeter of both sides of the frame must be sealed against air leakage using a suitable sealant.
Note: All kerf-mounted perimeter gaskets around the jambs and head of the frame are supplied by Special-Lite. The Pemko HSS2000xS88 combination fire/smoke sealing/gasketing and the Hager 750S door sweep may be supplied by Special-Lite or the installer/client.
