NGP 12T636 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lengths and finishes does the NGP 12T6 door shoe come in?
The 12T6 thermoplastic door shoe is stocked in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths, each available in mill aluminum or dark bronze. Forty-eight inches is the maximum length, so it covers standard commercial door widths, and the aluminum extrusion can be cut down on site for a narrower leaf.
2) Will a vinyl door shoe hold up on an exterior door in a cold climate?
The 12T6 is rated from 0 F to 140 F. Below zero the thermoplastic seal falls outside its stated range, so for openings that see sustained sub-zero temperatures a different bottom seal is the safer call. Within that window the soft vinyl fins stay pliable enough to sweep the threshold and the seal is moisture resistant.
3) My door bottom gets rain running off it. Is the NGP 12T6 the right shoe?
The 12T6 has no rain drip. It is a plain thermoplastic shoe with vinyl fins. For an exterior opening where water runs down the face of the door, a shoe with an integral drip is the better choice, such as the Pemko 211V L-shaped shoe with rain drip or the Pemko 215, which also includes a rain drip.
4) The opening is a fire-rated door - can I use the NGP 12T6 thermoplastic door shoe?
The NGP 12T6 is described as flame resistant, but that is a material property and not a listing on a rated assembly. When the drawing calls for a fire-rated door bottom shoe, the Pemko 210 fire-rated door bottom shoe with Eco-V insert or the Pemko 215 fire-rated door shoe, which Pemko identifies as UL10C certified, are the parts written for that opening. The Pemko 210 is catalogued in 36 inch aluminum construction, which matches the shorter of the two NGP 12T6 lengths.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the NGP 12T6 door shoe from another manufacturer?
The NGP 12T6 is an aluminum-base door shoe with a thermoplastic seal that has a rigid base and soft vinyl fins, offered in mill aluminum and dark bronze in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths. The nearest like-for-like alternates are the Cal-Royal DS-403 aluminum door shoe with vinyl insert and the Pemko 209 door shoe with Eco-V vinyl insert, which Pemko lists on a 1/2 inch by 1-3/8 inch profile. All three are the same class of part: an extruded aluminum channel that fastens to the door bottom and carries a replaceable vinyl seal riding on the threshold. Confirm the door bottom rail has clearance for the shoe profile before swapping brands.
6) This is an exterior door that takes driving rain - is the NGP 12T6 the right shoe?
The NGP 12T6 is a moisture-resistant shoe with soft vinyl fins, but it has no rain drip. For an exterior opening where water needs to be thrown clear of the sill, the Pemko 211V is an L-shaped door shoe with a rain drip and a GREENGUARD Gold certified Eco-V insert, and the Pemko 215 combines a rain drip with a fire-rated shoe. The drip leg projects out over the threshold, so check that the door swing and any storm or screen door clear the added projection.
7) Do I get mounting screws with the NGP 12T6 door shoe, or do I need to supply my own?
Screws are in the box. Each 12T6 ships with #6 x 3/4 inch stainless steel sheet metal screws, so it fastens straight to a hollow metal or wood door bottom without a separate fastener order. Stainless matters on exterior openings where a plated screw would rust out before the vinyl does.
8) What is the difference between a door shoe like the NGP 12T6 and a door sweep?
A door shoe wraps the bottom edge of the door. The 6063 T5 aluminum base caps the edge and the thermoplastic fins hang below to meet the threshold, which protects the door bottom as well as sealing it. A sweep only screws to one face and seals. Choose the shoe when the door bottom itself takes weather or abuse, and when you want the seal held straight along the full width.
9) What does the NF suffix mean when ordering an NGP 12T6?
NF is the notched fins option. The fins are cut back so the seal clears something at the door bottom, typically an obstruction or hardware that a full continuous fin would ride over. Order the standard 12T6 unless the opening specifically calls for notched fins.
10) I need to match the dark bronze hardware on my storefront doors. Does this shoe come in bronze?
Yes, the 12T6 is offered in dark bronze as well as mill aluminum, in both the 36 inch and 48 inch lengths. Mill aluminum is the raw extrusion finish and reads as a plain silver against clear anodized frames; dark bronze matches the usual bronze anodized storefront.
11) What other aluminum door shoes with a vinyl insert could I use instead of the NGP 12T6?
Straight equivalents in the same aluminum-and-vinyl style include the Cal-Royal DS-403 aluminum door shoe with vinyl insert and the Pemko 209, which carries a 1/2 inch x 1-3/8 inch profile. The Pemko 211V insert is GREENGUARD Gold certified if the job has a low-emissions requirement.
12) We are chasing low-emitting material credits on a school project - which door shoe suits that better than the NGP 12T6?
The NGP 12T6 uses a thermoplastic polymer seal and is specified for commercial work including educational facilities, but it carries no environmental certification of its own. If the submittal needs a certified insert, the Pemko 211V is supplied with a GREENGUARD Gold certified Eco-V insert, and the Pemko 209 and Pemko 210 also use the Eco-V vinyl insert. The 211V adds an L-shaped body with a rain drip, so it is not a shape-for-shape swap for the 12T6 on an interior opening.
13) Is a door sweep the same thing as the NGP 12T6 door shoe?
No. The NGP 12T6 is a door shoe: an aluminum alloy 6063 T5 extrusion that wraps the bottom edge of the door and holds a thermoplastic seal with soft vinyl fins, fastened with the supplied #6 x 3/4 inch stainless steel sheet metal screws. A sweep mounts flat on the face of the door and hangs a seal below the bottom edge. The Cal-Royal DS-403 and the Pemko 209 are shoes like the 12T6 and interchange with it in concept; a face-applied sweep does not, because the door bottom prep and the screw pattern are different.
14) Can I use the NGP 12T6 on apartment and school corridor doors, or is it only for exterior?
It is classed as a commercial product and NGP lists it for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial and warehouse space, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. The aluminum base plus thermoplastic seal handles interior corridor doors and exterior leaves alike, as long as the opening stays inside the 0 F to 140 F range and does not need a fire label.
