ITW Buildex Dektite Sprinkler Products

Dektite^® for Fire Protection

The original flexible pipe flashing system with a 20 year warranty complies with NFPA 13 standard, A.8.4.9.2, for installation of dry pendant sprinklers in refrigeration/freezer units, as it seals the clearance space surrounding the sprinkler barrel to avoid leakage of air into the refrigerated/freezer unit and eliminates the formation of condensation which may cause malfunction of the sprinkler. Fast, Easy to Use, and Durable!
	FEATURES One piece construction is easy to install; friction fit eliminates the need for caulking. Pipe diameter markings are clearly indicated for accurate fitting. Designed for 1/4'' to 24'' diameter pipes. Made of long life, flexible, weather-proof gray EPDM rubber or red silicone which will not crack or break over time like foam products. EPDM has a continuous service temperature range of -65°F to +250°F. Silicone has a continuous service temperature range of -40°F to +350°F.

	STEP 1: Cut Dektite at appropriate pipe diameter marking.
	STEP 2: Slide Dektite flashing down over pipe.
	STEP 3: Apply sealant on underside of flexible aluminum base.
	STEP 4: Press Dektite base into contours of panel configuration.
	STEP 5: Fasten Dektite to surface with Buildex SCOTS self-drilling fasteners.
	STEP 6: Apply additional sealant around base if desired.
*Notes:* Dektite can be installed over or between the ribs of standard panels. DO NOT install over SSR or architectural panel ribs. Generally, no sealant is required where the Dektite collar provides a compression fit around the pipe. However, some metal pipes and flues include a seam which may require a local application of sealant at the point where the Dektite collar crosses the seam.
