Pemko 174C 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko 174 carpet separator threshold work for a carpet-to-tile transition in a wheelchair accessible corridor?
That is exactly what the 174 is built for. It is a 2-1/2 inch wide aluminum separator that bridges carpet to tile with a barrier-free profile, so it does not create a trip lip in the path of travel, and it is ADA compliant with ANSI/BHMA A117.1 and ANSI/BHMA A156.21. It also locks down the carpet edge so it will not fray at the seam.
2) What lengths does the Pemko 174 threshold come in, and can I get it cut for a wider opening?
Three stock lengths ship as-is: 36, 48 and 72 inches, each in clear anodized or dark bronze anodized aluminum. Beyond that the 174 is a cut-to-length product, from a 24 inch minimum up to 185 inches, so a wide storefront pair or a corridor run can be ordered in one piece rather than butted together. Anything under 24 inches is not available.
3) Can I mount a door sweep or door bottom against the Pemko 174 separator?
Yes, and that is one of the reasons to spec it under a door rather than a plain carpet edge trim. The 174 gives a solid flat aluminum surface for a sweep or automatic door bottom to seal against, which carpet pile alone cannot do. Order the sweep separately; the threshold is the mating surface, not a sealing kit.
4) Does the Pemko 174 meet the code requirements for an accessible route in a government or healthcare facility?
The 174 is ADA compliant and carries ANSI/BHMA A117.1 and ANSI/BHMA A156.21 certifications, which is the pairing a facility spec usually calls for on a threshold in an accessible route. That is what lets it go into government, municipal, healthcare and education work where the transition has to be documented, not just look flat.
5) Is a carpet separator threshold the right choice, or do I need a saddle threshold?
Different jobs. A carpet separator like the 174 is a flooring transition: it terminates and protects a carpet edge where it meets tile, and it stays low for accessibility. A saddle or thermal-break threshold is for an exterior opening where you need to stop water and air. If the doorway is interior and the problem is two floor finishes meeting, the 174 is the part. If it is an exterior door, spec an exterior threshold instead.
6) Is the Pemko 174 aluminum threshold durable enough for hospital and school corridor traffic?
It is a commercial-rated product, not a residential trim. The extrusion is aluminum alloy with an anodized finish, which is what holds up to cart and foot traffic in offices, healthcare, education, retail, hotels and multi-tenant residential. For a property manager standardizing across a building, the same profile in clear or dark bronze anodized covers most floor and door finishes.
7) How much floor does the 174 threshold cover at the carpet seam?
2-1/2 inches of width, which is the dimension that matters when you are deciding how much of the carpet edge and tile edge gets captured. On a 36 inch door opening the 36 inch stock length runs the full width of the opening with the 2-1/2 inch band sitting across the seam. Measure the finished opening, not the door leaf, when picking a length.
8) Which finish should I order on the Pemko 174, clear or dark bronze?
Two anodized options, clear and dark bronze. Clear anodized reads as a light silver aluminum and disappears against grey or light tile and aluminum storefront framing. Dark bronze matches bronze anodized door frames, dark carpet and darker tile. Both come in the 36, 48 and 72 inch stock lengths, so finish does not limit your length choice on those sizes.
