DESIGN / PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Include the following paragraphs if fire doors are required. Delete if not required. Door designs in this specification are generally available with 3-hours, 1 1/2-hours, 3/4-hours, 1/3-hour, and 20 minutes ratings without hose stream, dependant on size, configuration, glazing, and hardware. Consult manufacturer's literature for specifics. Ratings are based on performance and evaluations of samples tested to UL-10B, UL-10C, UL-9, or NFPA 252 methods. Doors in openings enclosing areas of vertical communication, such as stairwells, may require temperature rise labels based on temperature increase on unexposed side at 30 minutes into the fire test. (Since it is a measurement of temperature INCREASE, a 250 degree door is thermally superior to a 450 degree door.) All fire ratings shall be clearly indicated on the Door Schedule for each door.

Fire Labeled Doors and Frames: Manufacturer shall be under the factory inspection and Follow-up Services of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., (UL) and/or Intertek-Warnock Hersey Inc. (WHI) for the appropriate labeling requirements. Confirmation shall be evidenced through the certifying authority's online directory.

Where indicated in the door schedule, apply Labels certifying compliance with labeling requirements specified. Doors and frames shall be tested or otherwise evaluated to UL-9, UL-10B, UL-10C, or NFPA 252 methods.

Construction details and hardware applications authorized by testing or certification laboratories shall take precedence over project details or specifications.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Include the following paragraph if smoke control doors are required. Delete if not required. Testing or evaluation to UL-1784 by Industry Groups has established that key components for achieving smoke control are gaskets supplied under another Section. To signify the qualification of doors for smoke control when equipped with suitable gaskets, a supplemental label or "S" mark on the door label is used.

Smoke Control Doors: Provide smoke doors where indicated on door schedule. Provide markings on doors or door labels signifying ability to achieve smoke control ratings when used with compliant gaskets based on testing or evaluation to UL-1784. Gaskets are specified in Section 08720.

1.5

Series FR equal rabbet frames, in 14 or 12 gage hot-dip galvanized (galvanneal) Class A60 (ZF180) material.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select from the following paragraphs the types of frames required for the project. If more than one frame type or series is required, indicate where each is to be used on the Drawings and/or door schedule for each opening.
Consult Amweld International Technical Data and website for additional data on physical properties of the features of individual frame Series.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** The terms "K-D" (knocked-down), "slip-on drywall" (pressure fit drywall), and "adjustable" have explicit technical meanings in this specification. All frames are initially fabricated from separate components. Not all K-D frames are slip-on drywall.
K-D Frames are intended to be factory or field assembled prior to installation. When used in existing walls, rough openings must be greater than overall frame size for a butted condition. It may also be factory or field welded prior to installation.
Slip-On Drywall Frames are ALWAYS assembled during the installation process into existing stud walls. Rough openings in walls are smaller than the overall frame size (consult manufacturer's data for dimensions). It is designed to wrap around the wall and has adjustable compression anchors for bearing onto the wall stud to prevent the frame from moving out of line once properly adjusted. Since they are designed for wood or steel stud and drywall partitions, slip-on drywall frames are normally used at interior openings. They are NEVER provided welded.
Adjustable Frames are ALWAYS assembled during the installation process into existing stud walls in retrofit situations. Rough openings in walls are smaller than the overall frame size (consult manufacturer's data for dimensions). Each member (jambs and head) of this design is fabricated in two pieces allowing the frame to wrap around and adjust to walls of varying thickness. Each member is then fastened together and to the wall for a unitized structure after installation. Factory or field welding prior to installation is not recommended.
All three types are available with Listing Marks (labels).
Steel thicknesses are indicated as the customary gage format since it is an integral part of Amweld's ordering, pricing, and product identification procedures. These gage references comply with ANSI/SDI A250.8 and HMMA 803 and are used throughout this Section.

SPECIALTY DOORS AND FRAMES

*** NOTE TO SPECIFIER *** Delete the following paragraph if windstorm rated openings are not required. Construction of windstorm rated doors is based on physical testing and engineering analysis of assemblies tested to ASTM E330, ASTM E1886, ASTM E1996, and ANSI A250.13. Performance ratings are Design Pressure (DP) in pounds per square foot of the entire assembly. The DP is derived from Structural performance. Since the location of the door opening in the building, physical characteristics of the building, and the location of the building will determine the DP and impact requirements, each door opening must be individually rated. The construction, dimensions, lights, allowable hardware, etc, is performance-based. Specify only by Design Pressure, and consult manufacturer's literature or published Approvals for options. Where Building Codes recognize ANSI A250.13 or allow component substitutions, choose ALL components to meet or exceed the required DP. Component substitutions may retain or decrease (but SHALL NOT increase) the DP of the assembly. Consult Appendix A and Appendix C of ANSI A250.13 for more information on component substitution.
