Pemko 68AR-40 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko 68 weatherstrip work on an inswing door?
No. The 68 is built for outswing doors. It is the interlocking top piece that hooks to the 347 Series overhead rain drip, and that geometry only works where the door swings out. For an inswing opening you want a jamb-applied seal instead, such as the Hager 864S adjustable jamb weatherstrip with neoprene insert.
2) Is the Pemko 68 head weatherstrip approved for a fire-rated door assembly?
Yes. The 68 carries UL10C positive pressure and Underwriters Laboratory 4L10 fire ratings, which is why it shows up on fire-rated openings in schools, hospitals, and government buildings.
3) Does the Pemko 68 work on its own, or do I need another part with it?
It is half of a two-part system. The 68 is the interlocking member that hooks to a 347 Series overhead rain drip, so you need that mating piece at the head for the seal and water diversion to work. Fasteners are covered: SMS #6 x 5/8 inch screws are included.
4) For a smoke and draft opening rather than a weather-exposed exterior door, is there a better choice than the Pemko 68?
The Pemko 68 is built for outswing exterior doors - it directs water away from the door and seals the top edge, and carries UL10C positive pressure and UL 4L10 fire ratings. For an interior smoke and draft assembly where water management is not a factor, the Hager 862S is a 48 inch weatherstrip with a neoprene insert intended for smoke and draft control, and the Hager 726S is a press-on smoke seal in a charcoal finish. The Hager 726S installs press-on rather than being fastened like the Pemko 68, which ships with SMS #6 x 5/8 inch screws.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Pemko 68 door top weatherstrip if I need a longer stock length for a wide opening?
The Pemko 68 is an aluminum head weatherstrip with a black sponge neoprene insert, supplied in a 40 inch length. If the opening calls for a longer piece off the shelf, the Hager 864S is an adjustable jamb weatherstrip in clear anodized aluminum with a neoprene insert, supplied at 84 inches. Both use a neoprene sealing insert in an aluminum carrier; the 864S is an adjustable jamb section rather than the Pemko 68's interlocking head piece that hooks to the 347 Series and works as an overhead rain drip, so confirm which part of the frame you are sealing before you swap.
6) Can I cut the Pemko 68 down on site to fit my opening?
Yes, it is aluminum extrusion stock and is supplied in set lengths from 24 up to 185 inches, so a longer piece can be cut to the opening. Just keep the finished piece at least 4 inches longer than the door width so the interlock overruns both edges.
7) Can I use a brush weatherstrip instead of the Pemko 68?
They seal differently. The Pemko 68 uses a black sponge neoprene insert in an aluminum carrier and compresses against the door top to block water and air. The Cal-Royal BW-302 is a nylon brush weatherstrip in an extruded aluminum seal retainer, from the Brush Weatherstrips Series - a brush pile sweeps against the door rather than compressing. The Pemko 68 also carries UL10C positive pressure and UL 4L10 fire ratings, so on a fire-rated assembly confirm the listing of any brush product before substituting.
8) Is the Hager 862S a drop-in replacement for the Pemko 68?
Not directly. Both are aluminum-carrier weatherstrips with neoprene inserts, but the Hager 862S is described for smoke and draft control and comes in a 48 inch length, while the Pemko 68 is a 40 inch interlocking outswing head piece that hooks to the 347 Series and acts as a rain drip, with 3/4 inch width and 13/16 inch overall height. If the existing opening has 347 Series interlocking hardware on the door, the mating profile of the Pemko 68 is what engages it.
9) What is the Pemko 68 made of and how does it seal?
Extruded aluminum body with a black sponge neoprene insert. The aluminum takes the fasteners and the weather, the neoprene does the sealing against the top of the door edge, and the interlock diverts water away from the opening.
10) What finish does the Pemko 68 weatherstrip come in?
Mill finish aluminum with the neoprene insert. If you are matching existing head seals across a building and they are anodized rather than mill, a clear anodized alternative like the Hager 864S is the closer visual match.
