Pemko 216AFG 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Pemko 216AFG rated for a fire door?
Fire rated to UL 10C and smoke tested to UL 1784, and it carries Underwriters Laboratory 4L10. It also meets ANSI/BHMA A156.21. That combination is what an inspector looks for on a rated opening, so this shoe can go on a labeled door where a plain weatherstrip shoe can't.
2) How much gap under the door do I need for a Pemko 216AFG, and how much adjustment is there?
Overall height of the 216AFG is 1-9/16 inches, and the mounting holes are elongated slots so the shoe can be shifted up or down in the field after it's hung. Pemko's recommendation is about 1/16 inch of gasket compression against the threshold or sill. Set the door first, then adjust the shoe to that compression rather than trying to hit it on the first pass.
3) Is the Cal-Royal DS-403 an equivalent swap for a Pemko 216AFG?
They are both aluminum door shoes, but they are not the same part. The Cal-Royal DS-403 is an aluminum door shoe with a vinyl insert. The Pemko 216AFG uses a PemkoPrene insert and adds a rain drip and a resin thermal break, and it holds UL 10C fire rating, UL 1784 smoke testing, ANSI/BHMA A156.21, and GREENGUARD Gold certification. If the opening is a rated door or an exterior door where water shedding and thermal transfer are in play, the 216AFG is what carries those; on a plain interior door where the job is just closing the gap under the door, the DS-403 vinyl insert shoe covers it.
4) I need a door shoe for a cold storage or unconditioned entry that sees wide temperature swings. Is the Pemko 216AFG the right choice or should I look at the NGP 112?
The NGP 112 is a neoprene door shoe with aluminum alloy construction rated for a temperature range of -20 F to 200 F, which is the spec to work from when the swing itself is the concern. The Pemko 216AFG answers a different part of the problem: its resin thermal break stops hot and cold from conducting through the shoe from exterior to interior, and its rain drip sheds water off the door bottom. For an insulated exterior opening where heat transfer through the assembly is the issue, the 216AFG thermal break is the feature that matters; where the seal material itself has to survive extremes, the 112 states the temperature range.
5) The door I am sealing is a labeled fire door. Can I use the Cal-Royal DS-403 or the NGP 12T on it?
For a labeled opening, work from the listings the part carries. The Pemko 216AFG is fire rated to UL 10C and smoke tested to UL 1784 under ANSI/BHMA A156.21, which is the combination an inspector looks for on a rated door bottom. The Cal-Royal DS-403 is described as an aluminum door shoe with a vinyl insert and the NGP 12T as a thermoplastic shoe with a mill aluminum base and vinyl fins - they are selected on material and profile rather than on a rating. On a labeled door, the 216AFG is the one whose record carries UL 10C and UL 1784.
6) Does a door shoe with a rain drip make sense on an interior door, or do I want the plain version?
The rain drip on the 216AFG is a projecting lip that throws water off the face of the door, and it only earns its keep on an exterior opening. On an interior door it does nothing but stick out. What does carry over indoors is the PemkoPrene insert, which resists cleaning fluids and disinfectants, and the thermal break, which matters anywhere you're separating conditioned from unconditioned space. For a straight interior door bottom with no weather exposure, a plain shoe like the Cal-Royal DS-403 with a vinyl insert covers it.
7) What does the thermal break in the Pemko 216AFG actually do for me?
It stops the aluminum from conducting heat and cold straight through the bottom of the door. The 216AFG uses a resin thermal break between the outboard and inboard sides of the extrusion, so on an exterior opening you don't get the cold bridge and the condensation line that a solid aluminum shoe gives you in winter. If the door separates conditioned space from outside, that's the reason to spec the AFG rather than a plain aluminum shoe.
8) Is the Pemko 216AFG suitable for a hospital or school door that gets wiped down with disinfectant?
Yes. The PemkoPrene insert resists cleaning fluids and disinfectants, which is why this shoe holds up in healthcare and education work where a standard vinyl insert hardens or discolors. It is also GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions, and it's specified as a commercial-duty product.
9) Does a door shoe go on the inside or the outside face of the door, and does it replace a sweep?
A shoe like the 216 is not a face-mounted sweep. It's U-shaped, so it slides over the bottom edge of the door and fastens through both sides, sealing against the sill along the full bottom. That means the door has to come off the hinges, or at least be undercut, to install it. A face-mounted sweep screws to one side and can go on with the door hung. The trade-off is that the shoe seals a rated exterior opening properly, which is what the UL 10C and UL 1784 listings on the 216AFG cover.
10) I am standardizing door bottoms across a hospital and need something that holds up to disinfectants and stays low emission. Which shoe fits that?
The Pemko 216AFG uses a PemkoPrene insert on an aluminum base, which resists cleaning fluids and disinfectants, and it is GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions. Among the alternatives, the Cal-Royal DS-403 uses a vinyl insert, the NGP 12T uses vinyl fins, and the NGP 112 uses neoprene. If the wipe-down chemistry and the indoor air criteria are what drive the selection, the PemkoPrene and GREENGUARD Gold combination on the 216AFG is what speaks to both.
11) My door is interior and the only complaint is a draft under it. Do I need the rain drip and thermal break, or is a simpler shoe fine?
On an interior door with no weather exposure, the rain drip and resin thermal break on the Pemko 216AFG are addressing conditions that opening does not have - the drip sheds rain off the door bottom and the thermal break stops exterior to interior conductivity. A simpler aluminum shoe covers a plain draft: the Cal-Royal DS-403 pairs an aluminum body with a vinyl insert, and the NGP 12T is a thermoplastic shoe on a mill aluminum base with vinyl fins. Keep the 216AFG where the door is exterior, rated, or where thermal transfer through the bottom matters.
12) What separates the NGP 112 from the NGP 12T when I am picking a door shoe?
They differ by seal material. The NGP 112 is a neoprene door shoe with aluminum alloy construction and a stated temperature range of -20 F to 200 F. The NGP 12T is a thermoplastic door shoe with a mill aluminum base and vinyl fins. Neoprene and vinyl behave differently against temperature and chemical exposure, so the choice follows the environment at the opening. Where the door is exterior and needs water shed and a thermal break in the same part, the Pemko 216AFG covers both with its rain drip and resin thermal break on an aluminum base.
13) Can I replace just the seal on a Pemko 216 door shoe instead of the whole thing?
The 216AFG is an aluminum extrusion carrying a replaceable PemkoPrene insert, so when the seal wears the extrusion stays on the door and the insert is what gets swapped. For a property manager standardizing a building, that's the argument for putting the same 216 shoe on every exterior opening: one insert part number covers the reorders instead of buying complete shoes.
14) Does the Pemko 216AFG come in any finish other than mill aluminum?
Mill finish aluminum is the finish offered on the 216AFG, in both the 36 inch and 48 inch lengths. That's the raw extrusion look, and on a door bottom it sits below sightline on most openings. If the specification calls for a matched anodized or painted door bottom, this is not the shoe that satisfies it.
