H (1016mm x 2540mm) and smaller only require retaining angles on one side of the partition (See Figure 3 and Figure 4). Retaining angles must be attached to the sleeve and the partition. Larger damper assemblies require retaining angles on both side of the partition. Retaining angles must be attached to the sleeve.
• Retaining angles must be a minimum of 16 gauge |
(1.5mm) steel and have a minimum of 11/2 in. x 11/2 in. |
(38mm x 38mm) legs. |
• Retaining angles must be attached to the sleeve using |
one of the methods shown below: |
• tack or spot welds |
• #10 sheet metal screws and bolts |
• Retaining angles must be attached to the partition using |
drywall screws of a length such that the screw engages |
the stud/track by a minimum of 1/2 in. (13mm). |
