Pemko 196D 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Pemko 196 floor plate trim actually do at a threshold?
The 196 is a support and trim strip, not a threshold you walk across on its own. It raises a floor cover plate a quarter inch so the plate sits level with the surrounding surface, and it carries the plate structurally. On custom welded threshold assemblies it does double duty as the transition edge and the support underneath. If you are looking for the piece the door actually seals against, this is not it, this is the piece that holds the plate up.
2) How often does the Pemko 196 trim need to be supported when fabricating a welded threshold?
Space it every 4 inches on center, and put a support at every welded seam. That spacing is what keeps a floor cover plate from deflecting under traffic, so on a wide opening you are ordering considerably more linear footage of the 196 than the width of the door itself. Plan the cut list off the 4 inch spacing before you pick a length.
3) What size is the Pemko 196 trim, and will a quarter inch lift my cover plate flush?
The 196 measures 1-1/8 inches wide by 1/4 inch high. It lifts the cover plate exactly 1/4 inch, so it levels a plate sitting in a recess that is a quarter inch below the finished floor. If your recess is deeper or shallower than that, the 196 will not bring the plate flush and you need a different height of support.
4) Is the Pemko 196 approved for use at a fire rated door opening?
The 196 is UL 10C certified for positive pressure fire tests of door assemblies, which is the test standard that governs threshold and gasketing components at a rated opening. That is the listing an AHJ looks for on a fire door threshold assembly.
5) Does the Pemko 196 threshold trim meet ADA requirements for an accessible entrance?
Yes. The 196 meets ADA requirements and conforms to ANSI/BHMA A117.1 and A156.21 threshold standards, which is what a school, hospital or municipal facility needs on record for an accessible opening. At 1/4 inch high it is also within the height that accessibility rules treat as a level change needing no bevel.
6) What lengths of Pemko 196 threshold trim can I order?
Stock pieces come in 36, 72 and 96 inch lengths, in either mill finish aluminum or dark bronze anodized aluminum. Pemko fabricates the 196 in custom lengths from a 24 inch minimum up to 185 inches, so an opening that does not divide cleanly into a stock piece can be cut to length rather than field spliced. For runs longer than 185 inches you are welding sections, and each seam needs its own support.
7) Aluminum or brass for the 196 floor plate support, and what do I actually get?
Pemko builds the 196 in aluminum alloy or brass. The stocked pieces are aluminum, in mill finish or dark bronze anodized. Mill finish is the plain silver aluminum and disappears under a cover plate; dark bronze anodized is the one to specify when the trim edge stays visible and the rest of the opening hardware is dark bronze.
8) Can I get the 196 with a non-slip surface for a wet entry?
PemKote is available on the 196 as a non-slip coating for added traction. Worth specifying at a building entrance, a healthcare corridor or anywhere the plate edge sits in a path that gets wet and the trim surface is walked on rather than covered.
9) I need to match the trim on several openings in the same building. Is the Pemko 196 consistent across doors?
It is a single profile, 1-1/8 by 1/4 inch, in the 196 Series, so every opening you use it on gets the same edge height and the same reveal. Ordering the same finish, mill or dark bronze anodized, across a set of doors gets you a uniform look, and the 24 to 185 inch fabrication range covers standard single doors through wide pairs and storefront openings without changing product.
