NGP NGP-143PA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the NGP 143PA mortised astragal used for?
The NGP 143PA is a mortised astragal designed for double door applications. It seals the gap between door leaves when closed. The polypropylene pile seal provides weather resistance and sound dampening.
2) What door types is this astragal compatible with?
This mortised astragal works with commercial hollow metal doors and solid wood doors. It requires mortising into the inactive door leaf. Verify door thickness and weight capacity before installation.
3) How do I determine which door gets the astragal?
The astragal mounts on the inactive door leaf - the door that closes second. The active door closes against the astragal. Check door specifications and opening sequence during planning.
4) What finishes does the anodized aluminum come in?
The anodized aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance and durability. Standard anodized finishes typically include clear and bronze. Verify specific finish options with manufacturer specifications for your project.
5) What is the load rating for this mortised astragal?
Mortised astragals distribute weight into the door structure rather than the frame. Check manufacturer specifications for maximum door weight and size. Proper mortising depth ensures structural integrity.
6) Does this astragal meet fire door requirements?
Fire door compatibility depends on the specific listing and door assembly. Verify the astragal is listed for use with your fire-rated door system. Check manufacturer documentation for fire ratings and approvals.
7) What accessories are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires mortising template, screws, and possibly pilot holes. Some models include mounting hardware. Check the package contents and manufacturer template for complete requirements.
8) How deep should the mortise be cut?
Mortise depth depends on the astragal body thickness and door material. Follow manufacturer template exactly. Too shallow causes binding, too deep weakens the door structure. Use proper mortising tools for clean cuts.
9) How do I maintain the polypropylene pile seal?
Clean pile seal with mild soap and water. Remove debris that could compress the pile. Inspect for wear or damage during routine door maintenance. Replace when sealing effectiveness is compromised.
10) Are there other NGP astragal models available?
NGP offers various astragal configurations including surface-mounted, overlapping, and different seal types. Browse our door hardware section for related models and applications.
11) What environmental conditions affect performance?
Temperature extremes can affect pile seal flexibility. High humidity areas may require more frequent cleaning. Anodized aluminum resists corrosion in most environments. Consider climate conditions during product selection.
12) What measurements do I need before ordering?
Measure door height, thickness, and gap between leaves. Check door weight and material type. Verify mounting space and hardware compatibility. Confirm these dimensions match astragal specifications before installation.
