Back to Fire Dampers

The WK45 series fire dampers, suitable for rectangular ducts with base up to 1500mm and height up to 800mm, allow maximum security in the prevention of spread of fire in buildings. They guarantee a perfect heat insulation and seal from hot and cold smoke as demonstrated by the various tests carried out in accordance with standard EN 1366-2.
They constitute a barrier from the spread of fire, transfer of heat and spread of harmful fumes and gases because of the use of the seal tested at 500Pa depression, much higher than the minimum required 300Pa as foreseen by standard EN 1366-2. By connecting them to fire and smoke alarm systems, it is possible to anticipate the closing of the damper blade before it comes into direct contact with the flame therefore preventing the onset of indirect damages that may result from the spread of fumes generated by combustion.
