Pemko 270D 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Pemko 270 saddle threshold rated for a fire rated door opening?
Yes. The Pemko 270 aluminum saddle threshold is fire rated UL10C positive pressure and cUL Listed 4L10, and it is BHMA certified, so it can be specified under a labeled commercial opening where the rated assembly calls for a rated threshold. It is a flat aluminum saddle, 4 inches wide by 1/4 inch high, intended for commercial use.
2) Will a 1/4 inch high saddle threshold pass an ADA barrier free entry?
The Pemko 270 stands 1/4 inch high, and Pemko describes the profile as barrier-free and ADA compliant. A quarter inch is the maximum change in level ADA permits with no bevel at all, which is why this profile rolls under wheelchairs, gurneys and stock carts without a ramped edge. If your opening needs a taller rise to bridge two floor levels, a 1/4 inch saddle is the wrong tool and you want an offset profile instead.
3) What length Pemko 270 threshold do I need for a 3 foot door, and does one piece cover a pair of doors?
Five lengths are offered: 36, 48, 72, 84 and 96 inches. A standard 3'0" single leaf is 36 inches of opening, so the 36 inch piece is the match there. A pair of 3'0" doors gives a 72 inch opening, and the 72 inch piece runs that in one continuous length with no butt joint under the meeting stiles. The 84 and 96 inch pieces cover wider openings and wider pairs.
4) What is a comparable fire rated aluminum saddle threshold to the Pemko 270 from another brand?
The Cal-Royal CR2000 saddle threshold series is the closest cross-brand match in intent: it is a saddle threshold series that is fire rated and ADA compliant, the same two boxes the Pemko 270 is bought to check. The Pemko 270 is a 4 inch wide by 1/4 inch high aluminum saddle, BHMA certified and fire rated UL10C positive pressure with a cUL 4L10 listing, in mill finish or dark bronze anodized aluminum. Confirm the CR2000 profile width your opening needs before swapping, since the 270 is specifically a 4 inch wide saddle.
5) The finished floor is higher on one side of the opening than the other - is the Pemko 270 still the right threshold?
A saddle profile like the Pemko 270 is a symmetrical plate 4 inches wide and 1/4 inch high, meant to bridge floors that meet at roughly the same level. When the two sides sit at different heights, an offset threshold is the profile built for it: the NGP 653 offset threshold is a 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inch aluminum alloy door saddle in the offset series, with the step built into the extrusion. Match the profile to the floor condition first, then the length.
6) Does the Pemko 270 come in dark bronze, and is every length available in that finish?
Two finishes, mill finish aluminum and dark bronze anodized aluminum, and both are stocked in all five lengths (36, 48, 72, 84 and 96 inches). So an installer matching dark bronze frames and hardware across a building doesn't have to give up a length to get the color, and a mill finish piece can go in at back of house openings where appearance doesn't matter.
7) The specification calls for a 3-hour positive pressure fire rated threshold - what are the options alongside the Pemko 270?
The Cal-Royal CR3700 saddle threshold series carries a 3-hour positive pressure fire rating, which is the value to cite when the drawing states a 3-hour assembly. The Pemko 270 is fire rated UL10C positive pressure and cUL listed 4L10, and is BHMA certified. For an institutional submittal, take the rating language on the door assembly listing and match the threshold to it rather than assuming the two ratings read the same on paper.
8) Can the NGP 653 be ordered in place of the Pemko 270?
They are different profiles and are not interchangeable on the same opening. The NGP 653 is an offset threshold, 1/2 inch by 5-1/2 inch aluminum alloy, from the offset series. The Pemko 270 is a saddle threshold, 4 inches wide by 1/4 inch high, with a barrier-free ADA compliant profile. On a barrier-free opening where the 1/4 inch saddle height was specified, the 653 changes both the height at the door and the shape of the walking surface, so it substitutes only where an offset profile is what the opening actually calls for.
9) Can one threshold be standardized across a whole commercial building, rated and non rated openings alike?
That's the practical case for the Pemko 270. It is a commercial grade aluminum saddle that already carries the UL10C positive pressure fire rating, cUL 4L10 listing and BHMA certification, so the same part number works at labeled stair and corridor doors and at the ordinary openings next to them. Five lengths from 36 to 96 inches and two finishes cover most of a facility, which keeps the storeroom to one line item instead of separate rated and non rated stock.
