control facility has been designed specifically for installations where space the following case diameters:

is at a premium and installation within the fire separation is not feasible. FD-C100 - 100mm diameter

The testing and resetting of the damper and thermal fuse external of the FD-C125 - 125mm diameter

duct allows for ease of commissioning and maintenance. NB: Access FD-C150 - 150mm diameter

panels may be required to comply with DW145 G.3.1.5. FD-C160 - 160mm diameter

The installation plate, with its engineered installation perforations, acts as FD-C200 - 200mm diameter

a template to allow the marking of the fixing positions on the surface FD-C250 - 250mm diameter

structure to which the plate will be affixed, allowing for a quick and FD-C300 - 300mm diameter

efficient install. FD-C315 - 315mm diameter

Introduction Testing and Conformities

What is a fire damper and why might they be needed?

Tested to EN1366-2
The FD-C Series Single Blade Circular Fire Damper is designed to

stop the spread of fire through ducts, walls, floors and ceilings.
Tested/assessed and achieved equivalent classification to:

The product range has many features and options to meet the
ES Classification (BS EN 1366-2/BS EN 13501-3)
requirements of specifiers, contractors, local and national authorities.
• BSB FD-C fitted with Installation Plate
Dampers are available to suit both low/medium and high velocity

applications. E180 - Blockwork/Masonr y wall

ES120 - Blockwork/Masonr y wall

What are the ‘E’ and ‘ES’ classifications?

To achieve the classifications to EN13501-3, fire dampers and fire E90 - Dr y Par tition wall

and smoke dampers shall be tested to EN1366-2 and a 300Pa ES90 - Dr y Par tition wall

pressure difference is applied across the damper. During the fire

FD-C Blade leakage
test period, the integrity of the seal between the damper and the

structure shall not have any gaps larger than 150mm x 6mm. There (BS EN 1751)

shall not be any sustained flaming. The largest size of damper to be • Class 2

manufactured for sale as a single section shall be fire tested.

E = Integrity

The maximum leakage permissible at 300Pa corrected to 20°C is

3 2 2
360m /hr/m (100 l/s/m ) throughout the fire test period.

ES = Integrity with Smoke Leakage Performance

The maximum leakage permissible at 300Pa corrected to 20°C is

3 2 2
200m /hr/m (55.5 l/s/m ) at ambient prior to the fire test and

throughout the fire test period. In addition, for the ES classification to

3 2
be attained, the smallest damper must also meet the 200m /hr/m

maximum leakage with a 300Pa pressure across the damper. (This is

equivalent to just 0.55 l/s on a 100x100 damper)

Fire dampers should be installed as tested.

Some applications (fan off) allow the use of tests under taken to BS

476-20/22 and this is also allowed worldwide in areas outside of the

EU. Test repor ts showing testing to EN 1366-2 should be acceptable

to meet the requirements of BS 476-20/22, but the reverse is

definitely not the case and no classifications are available.

Single Blade Circular Fire Dampers – Product Specification

Case

Galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10346 DX 51D Z275

0.6mm thick for 100mm dia. to 250mm dia.

0.7mm thick for 300mm dia. to 315mm dia.

Damper casing conforms to BS EN 1506.

Fusible Link

Fusible link externally replaceable rated at

72°C has been designed to alleviate

possible linear creep of the solder

joint. The thermal link is screwed

into position via the 12.5mm

diameter brass holder activating

the locking assembly from outside

the case in any position from fully

open to fully closed, allowing air

balance during the commissioning

of the ducted system.

Handle

The handle is a 8mm dia. preformed

400 series ferretic stainless steel rod

that allows the setting of the damper

to any set point or fully open

position. The blade angle is shown

via the graduated affixed label.

Installation Plate

The optional installation plate allows the

damper to be fixed into place from one side

only with no infill material being required. Use

either of the two appropriate 5mm dia. corner

fixing holes and all of the 5mm dia. mid

span fixing holes to secure the plate into position.

(Note: Option without installation plate is not CE marked)

Volume Control Application

The FD-C manual damper has the facility for volume control utilising the

seven presets at 10° set points from fully open to 30° from the fully

closed position.

The operating handle has been designed to be in line with the blade orientation thus providing an accurate guide to the blade set or released

position.

The FD-C manual damper continues to be a fully operational fire damper at these presets, and when released closed manually or through the

melting of the thermal fuse meets the test criteria of EN 1366-2 as provided in the relevant test repor ts.

Blade Seal (patent pending)

Layered glass woven sheets and

central intumescent disc to a

patented design that allows the

blade assembly to be of minimal

thickness, thus minimising

pressure loss, providing an

effective seal to comply with

EN 1366-2 achieving ES

classification.

Galvanised 1.2mm one piece
