The S88BL17 is a 17-foot silicone perimeter gasket that installs around door frames to seal air gaps and prevent smoke infiltration. This adhesive-backed weatherstrip compresses to seal gaps up to 1/16 inch, addressing building envelope requirements for energy efficiency and life safety compliance. Pemko designed this black silicone gasket for both weatherization and fire-rated door applications.
The adhesive backing eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners, making installation faster on metal and wood door frames. At 204 inches long, this gasket handles most standard commercial door openings in a single piece. The silicone material maintains flexibility across temperature ranges while resisting UV degradation and building chemicals.

This gasket meets UL 10C positive pressure fire testing standards and UL 1784 air leakage requirements. It also complies with ANSI/BHMA A156.22 door gasketing standards and ASTM E283 air infiltration testing protocols.
Fire-rated installations require gasketing that maintains seal integrity under pressure conditions. The UL 10C testing process validates gasket performance in fire door assemblies. For broader building envelope context, NFPA 101 requirements address life safety egress standards.
