RP17B Installation Instructions

A co-extruded PVC sweep seal that fits to the dor bottom of doors. These extremely flexible seals can be quick and easily installed without removing the door. Ideal for Sliding and security screen doors.

The RP17B Door Bottom Sweep Seal is suitable for all types of doors including double doors, sliding and bi-fold.

Note: For easy door operation, determine which side of the door the RP17 will function best. Flexible seal should lightly engage the sealing surface and sweep smoothly across the floor. Uneven or ramped floors may cause the seal to drag. Recommended adhesion temperature is above 21°C. Allow a few days for full adhesion strength to occur.
Seal can be fitted to the inside or outside of the door. Surface must be clean, smooth and if painted, well cured.
