The PK55D17 perimeter gasketing installs around door frames to seal gaps that allow air leakage and smoke infiltration. This 17-foot length of dark brown Pemko PemkoPrene material creates a weathertight seal when doors close. The adhesive backing makes installation quick on metal or wood frames without drilling or mechanical fasteners.
The 1/2-inch wide gasket compresses with extremely low closing force, making it suitable for tighter frame tolerances where standard gasketing creates binding. The PemkoPrene elastomer maintains flexibility in temperature extremes while providing consistent sealing pressure. This gasket helps buildings meet air infiltration requirements and reduces HVAC energy loss.
Fire-rated door assemblies require proper gasketing to maintain their UL 10C fire ratings during positive pressure testing. Building codes also mandate smoke seals on doors protecting exit routes, where NFPA 101 Life Safety Code egress requirements apply to occupant protection during emergencies.
