Frequently Asked Questions
- Can this be installed on fire doors?
Yes, RP8Si is used on fire door assemblies when installed as tested and approved (including AS1530.4 and AS/NZS 1905.1 requirements). - What is a common installation issue to watch for?
If the strike is not aligned correctly to the jamb, the seal may not drop evenly. Use the adjustment to set even contact and confirm the door closes freely. - Can I trim this seal to suit my door width?
Yes. The RP8Si is designed to be cut back to the exact size required, down to a minimum cut back length of 295 mm.
Additional Information
- Commonly specified in Australian commercial sites where acoustic control and smoke containment are required at the door bottom.
- For uneven floors or non-parallel sills, use the built-in level adjustment to help maintain consistent contact along the seal.
- On metal doors, this model can be integrated into the bottom rail by the fabricator, which is often preferred on high-traffic openings.
