For meeting edges of door and transom doors, a factory installed intumescent seal is required (category G), as noted below. The smoke and draft control gasket and the intumescent seal must be "Listed" for compliance with test procedure UBC Standard 7-2 (97) part 1 & 2. Refer to gasketing and intumescent manufacturer's installation instructions for frame preparation and application guidelines.
Installation Requirements - To meet part 1 of UBC 7-2 (97):

Category "A" Doors - No additional edge sealing system required to meet part 1 of UBC 7-2 (97).

  • This category includes 45, 60 & 90-minute doors that have a 1/16" - 1/8" single ply of intumescent material that is located approximately 1/4" from each of the finished stile edges. No additional intumescent is required.
Installation Requirements: Single Door - To meet part 2 of UBC 7-2 (97):
  • All door applications (Category "A" Doors): Install "Listed" smoke seal gasketing on both door jambs and header (see drawings J and K). For door and transom assemblies with a transom bar, also install the "Listed" smoke seal gasketing on all edges of the frame around the transom.
Installation Requirements: Pairs and Door and Transom Doors - To meet part 1 & 2 of UBC 7-2 (97):
  • Pair with metal edge and astragal set: Install the metal edge and astragal on the doors. A Category "A" Door will not require any additional intumescent or smoke seal gasketing at the meeting edges (see drawing L).
  • Pair without metal edges: The meeting edge intumescent is installed under Label Service. Apply a strip of "Listed" smoke seal gasketing on one leaf of the pair at the meeting edge (see drawing M).
  • Door and transom assemblies without a transom bar: The meeting rail intumescent is installed under Label Service. Where meeting rail intumescent includes a smoke seal, no additional smoke seal gasketing is required at the meeting rails (see drawing P). Where meeting rail intumescent does not include a smoke seal, additional "Listed" smoke seal gasketing is also required at the meeting rails (see drawing Q).
