08330/WAY - BuyLine 1720 
Note to specifiers: Words in parenthesis indicate options that need to be specified. 
PART I- GENERAL 
1.01 Work Included 
A) The Titan rolling doors will be manufactured by Wayne-Dalton Corp. 
1.02 Related Work 
A) Opening preparation, miscellaneous or structural metal work, access panels, finish or field painting, 
field electrical wiring, wire, conduit, fuses, and disconnect switches are in the Scope of Work of other 
divisions or trades. 
PART II- PRODUCT 
2.01 Curtain 
A) Curtain will be composed of galvanized steel interlocking Titan slats rolled in easy curves without 
sharp bends. Slats will be [(#18) (#14)] gauge with a minimum height of 6" and a minimum crown 
depth of 1-3/8". Slats are to be equipped with metal windlocks to prevent lateral movement of the 
slats. Windlocks made of galvanized malleable iron will act as a wearing surface in the guides. Each 
windlock will be bolted securely to the slat with four galvanized carriage bolts. The bottom of each 
curtain will be reinforced with two steel angles of equal size, not less than 2-1/2" x 2" x 3/16". A 
replaceable looped neoprene astragal will provide a continuous contact with the sill. 
2.02 Guides 
A) Door guides are to be constructed of structural steel angles of 1/4" minimum thickness assembled 
to form a groove of 4" minimum depth. Guides are to have auxiliary locking channels or bars to 
engage the curtain windlocks under wind pressure. Guides will be securely bolted to the opening 
jambs with 1/2 inch bolts spaced not more than 24" on centers. 
2.03 Brackets 
A) Supporting brackets will be 3/8" minimum steel plate with flanges for support of the hood. Bearings 
will be of the permanently lubricated ball bearing type to insure free travel of the inner door shaft. 
2.04 Counterbalance 
A) The curtain will be counterbalanced by means of helical torsion springs fixed at each end to 
tapered cast iron anchors designed to eliminate concentration strain. Springs will be high grade steel, 
oil tempered and heat treated, with the capacity to counterbalance the entire weight of the curtain 
assembly plus a safety factor of 25 percent. The spring anchors will transfer the full spring load to a 
single torsion shaft so that all of the springs will be adjusted simultaneously and equally by means of 
the charging wheel. The spring counterbalance will be housed in a steel pipe, permanently lubricated, 
and sealed with steel or cast iron plugs at each end. The pipe of suitable diameter and wall thickness 
will be such that the deflection of the assembly under curtain load shall not exceed .03" per foot of 
span. 
2.05 Hood 
A) Enclosing hoods of not less than #24 gauge galvanized steel will run continuously between 
brackets, with intermediate supports as required. 
2.06 Finish 
A) Curtain and hoods will be galvanized per current ASTM standards, then be phosphate coated for 2.07 Operation

paint adhesion. All parts of the doors, except bearing surfaces and galvanized surfaces, will be given 
one coat of rust inhibitive primer. Curtains and hoods also available galvanized not primed. 
Primer on galvanized steel curtain slats and hood will be one coat of epoxy with top coat of grey 
polyester enamel. 
A) Chain operated doors will be provided with reduction gears, sprocket, and galvanized hand chain. 
Reduction gearing is to be such that the maximum pull on the hand chain does not exceed 35 
pounds. Doors indicated on the drawings to be motor operated will be provided with a motor unit of 
sufficient capacity to operate the door at an average speed of .50 ft. per sec. Motor operated will be 
complete with worm gear reduction unit, emergency hand chain, high starting torque motor, geared 
limit switch which is not affected by use of emergency chain operation, and a floor engaged interlock 
to prevent electrical operation during emergency chain operation. Operator design will permit motor 
removal without affecting hand chain operation. Each operator is to be furnished with a reversing 
magnetic contractor; push button station marked "open," "close," and "stop," operating at 24 volt 
secondary voltage. 
A) Chain operated doors will be provided with chain lock keeper on the guides with provision for 
padlocking. Motor operated doors will be self-locking thru operator brakes and worm gear reducers. 
CAUTION: When specifying slide bolts or cylinder locks on electric-motor doors, electric interlocks 
should also be specified to prevent operation when lock bolts are engaged in the guides. 
PART III- EXECUTION 
A) Install the doors in accordance with Wayne-Dalton Corp. instructions and standards. Installation will 
be by an authorized Wayne-Dalton representative
