Pemko 2173AV36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Pemko 2173 door shoe fire rated for a labeled opening?
It is. The 2173 carries a UL10C positive pressure fire rating and is smoke tested to UL1784, with Underwriters Laboratory 4L10 and ANSI/BHMA A156.21 also on record. That is the combination a hospital or school facility needs on a labeled corridor or stairwell door.
2) How much clearance under the door does the Pemko 2173 shoe need?
The channel profile measures H: 11/16 inch, W: 1-3/4 inch. The height figure is what governs your undercut: the shoe wraps the bottom edge of the door and hangs below it, so the door bottom needs enough gap to the finished floor or threshold for the channel plus insert to clear without dragging. Check your undercut against the 11/16 inch profile before ordering.
3) Does a door shoe with a notched insert defeat the point of a fire rated door?
Not on the 2173. The alternate notching pattern in the Eco-V insert lets HVAC return air and bathroom exhaust pull under the door while the assembly still holds its UL10C positive pressure fire rating and UL1784 smoke test. That is the whole reason to spec this one over a solid-seal shoe: you get the air path an HVAC balance report wants without giving up the label.
4) What is a cheaper alternative to the Pemko 2173 door shoe if I do not need the fire rating?
If the opening is not labeled and you just need a bottom seal, the Cal-Royal DS-403 aluminum door shoe with vinyl insert is the same basic construction, an aluminum shoe with a vinyl insert. The NGP 12T thermoplastic door shoe uses a mill aluminum base with vinyl fins, which is a different sealing approach, and the NGP 112 uses a neoprene seal on an aluminum alloy base rated for a temperature range of -20 F to 200 F, which is the one to look at for an unconditioned or high heat location. None of those three is a substitute where a UL10C fire rating is required on the opening, and none replaces the notched airflow pattern the 2173 gives you.
5) I need a door bottom that seals against weather at an exterior door, is the Pemko 2173 the right one?
No. The 2173 is notched to let air pass under the door on purpose, for HVAC return and bathroom exhaust, so it will not give you a weather seal at an exterior opening. For a sealing door shoe, look at the Cal-Royal DS-403 with its vinyl insert, or the NGP 112 neoprene shoe rated -20 F to 200 F for exterior temperature swing. Use the 2173 on interior doors where you want controlled airflow with privacy and light control.
6) Is the NGP 12T a substitute for the Pemko 2173 door shoe?
They are not the same seal. The NGP 12T is a thermoplastic door shoe with a mill aluminum base and vinyl fins - the fins sweep the threshold to close the gap. The Pemko 2173 is an aluminum channel with a removable Eco-V vinyl insert notched in an alternating pattern so HVAC circulation and bathroom fan makeup air still pass while privacy and light control are kept. On a bathroom or classroom door where the mechanical drawing calls for undercut airflow, the fin shoe seals what the 2173 is meant to leave open, so it is a swap that changes how the room breathes.
7) What is the difference between the Pemko 2173 door shoe and the Cal-Royal DS-403?
Both are aluminum door shoes that carry a replaceable vinyl insert. The Pemko 2173 uses the Eco-V insert in an aluminum channel measuring H: 11/16", W: 1-3/4", and it is tested to UL10C fire rating and UL1784 smoke, with GREENGUARD Gold certification, in 36" and 48" lengths and mill or dark bronze anodized finishes. The Cal-Royal DS-403 is an aluminum door shoe with a vinyl insert from the Door Shoes series. If the opening is a rated door and the fire and smoke test listings have to be documented for the inspector, the 2173 is the one that carries them.
8) Which door shoe should I use on a cooler door or an exterior opening that sees below-freezing temperatures?
The NGP 112 door shoe is the one built for that range - it is a neoprene door shoe on aluminum alloy construction rated for a temperature range of -20 F to 200 F. The Pemko 2173 is an aluminum channel with an Eco-V vinyl insert, specified around fire and smoke performance to UL10C and UL1784 and controlled airflow rather than a stated temperature range. For a freezer, cooler, or exposed exterior threshold, spec the NGP 112; for a rated interior opening, the 2173.
9) I need a door shoe on a fire rated opening in a hospital corridor - which of these carries the listing my inspector will ask for?
The Pemko 2173 is the one carrying the life safety documentation: ANSI/BHMA A156.21, UL10C positive pressure fire rating, UL1784 smoke tested, Underwriters Laboratory 4L10, and GREENGUARD Gold for low chemical emissions. The Cal-Royal DS-403 aluminum door shoe with vinyl insert and the NGP 12T thermoplastic shoe with mill aluminum base and vinyl fins are specified by material and series. For a rated corridor door in a healthcare facility where the submittal has to show the test listing, the 2173 is the shoe to put on the schedule.
10) Should I use a door shoe or a surface door sweep on the bottom of my door?
A shoe like the 2173 wraps the bottom edge of the door in an aluminum channel, so the seal is carried by the door edge itself and the fastener line is protected. A surface sweep screws to the face of the door and is the quicker retrofit when you cannot pull the door off its hinges. Pick the shoe when you have the door down anyway (new hanging, refinishing) or when you want the more durable channel in a high traffic corridor. Pick a sweep for a fast in-place repair.
11) Can the vinyl insert on the Pemko 2173 be replaced without buying a new door shoe?
Yes, and that is the point of the design. The Eco-V insert is item number EV94 and pulls out of the aluminum channel, so when it tears or flattens after a few years of traffic you replace the insert and leave the channel on the door. For a property manager with a hundred doors on the same shoe, that is a strip-and-slide job instead of an uninstall.
12) Can I standardize the same door shoe across both my labeled and unlabeled interior doors?
Yes, and that is a common reason to pick the 2173 across a floor. It is rated UL10C and smoke tested to UL1784, so it is legal on the labeled corridor and stair doors, and there is nothing stopping you running the same shoe on the unlabeled office and restroom doors. One part number, one replacement insert (EV94) in the stockroom, and the finish matches across the floor in either mill or dark bronze anodized.
13) We standardize door bottoms across a portfolio - what are the straight aluminum-and-vinyl alternatives to the Pemko 2173?
The closest peers are the Cal-Royal DS-403, an aluminum door shoe with a vinyl insert, and the NGP 12T, a thermoplastic door shoe on a mill aluminum base with vinyl fins. The Pemko 2173 is the aluminum channel version with the removable Eco-V insert, ordered in 36" or 48" lengths in mill finish aluminum or dark bronze anodized aluminum, so a bronze storefront run and a back-of-house run can both be covered from the same model number. All three are shoes that mount to the door bottom rather than to the frame.
14) Is the Pemko 2173 door shoe rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 2173 is built as a commercial door bottom, aluminum channel with a replaceable insert, and it is specified into office buildings, healthcare, classrooms, retail, government and multi-tenant residential. It will work on a residential door, but the fire label and the notched airflow pattern are aimed at commercial code requirements.
