The product was tested and approved in:
- Concrete ≥ 70 mm | EI 90 (ved i o) S 1500 AA multi | Avantage 120 | Type of installation: in duct/shaft-mounted 0/180°. Minimal in-between distances authorised. | 300x385 mm ≤ Avantage 1V ≤ 700x1075 mm; 350x385 mm ≤ Avantage 2V ≤ 1100x1105 mm; 350x385 mm ≤ Avantage 1V ME ≤ 700x1075 mm
![1](/derived/PIM/PICS/V/INST/300_V_AVA_1V_INST_CONCRETE_EASY-KAP_3D.png)
In case the mounting frame is screwed:
Make an opening with dimensions (W+20) x (H+20) mm.
In case the mounting frame is fixed with mortar:
Make an opening with dimensions (W+20) x (H+20) mm till (W+100) x (H+100) mm.

![2](/derived/PIM/PICS/V/INST/300_V_EASY-KAP_INST_2.png)
The mounting frame should always be fastened to the concrete duct with screws and dowels (Ø 6 x minimum 60 mm, steel or stainless steel).
For an opening with dimensions up to (W+20) x (H+20) mm:
Two fixing lugs are provided at the bottom and at the top of the mounting frame: fold these against the duct and fasten the mounting frame with 4 screws Ø 6 x 60 mm, taking care not to misshape it. These screws can be inserted through any of the punched holes in the lugs, depending on the thickness of the duct wall. The finished opening must have the same size as the mounting frame (W+10) x (H+10) mm.
For an opening with dimensions up to (W+100) x (H+100) mm:
Apply mortar around the opening to reduce the opening to the outer dimensions of the frame, then proceed as mentioned above to fasten the frame into the opening. Make sure that the gap between the frame and the opening is sealed completely with mortar.
The mortar must harden completely before the damper is fastened to the mounting frame.

Installation at minimal distances
![1](/derived/PIM/PICS/V/INST/300_V_AVA_x2_INST_SHAFT.png)
The shutters can be installed at minimal distance on top of or next to each other, if they are mounted in separate sleeves made from the duct material with the required fire resistance. It is advised not to exceed a 4 x 2 configuration (W x H).
![2](/derived/PIM/PICS/V/INST/300_V_AVA_x4_INST_SHAFT.png)
In case several shutters are mounted at a minimal distance, the bearing and reinforcement points of the duct must be adjusted in proportion to the increased weight. The installation of the duct must comply with the classification report delivered by the duct manufacturer.
General remarks
- The installation must comply with the installation manual and the classification report.
- The installation of the smoke control duct must comply with the classification report delivered by the manufacturer.
- Axis orientation: see the declaration of performance.
- Avoid the obstruction of adjoining smoke control ducts.
- Verify if the blade can move freely.
