National Guard Products 127NA Neoprene Sponge Perimeter Weatherstrip Head-and-Jamb Set – Anodized Aluminum
The National Guard Products (NGP) 127NA Neoprene Sponge Perimeter Weatherstrip is a screw-applied, head-and-jamb perimeter seal set engineered for commercial and institutional door openings requiring dependable air, smoke, draft, and flame control. Featuring an Anodized Aluminum extruded housing in Aluminum Alloy 6063-T5 and a patent-pending Microcellular EPDM closed-cell foam insert, the 127NA delivers a tight, resilient seal around the full door perimeter. Available in five standard opening sizes — 3'0 x 7'0, 4'0 x 7'0, 6'0 x 7'0, 6'0 x 8'0, and 8'0 x 8'0 — each set includes one head piece and two jamb pieces, cut to length and furnished with #6 x 3/4" Stainless Steel Sheet Metal Screws for surface application to the frame stop. This is a made-to-order product with a lead time of approximately 10–15 business days.
High-Performance Perimeter Weatherstrip Features
- Microcellular EPDM Closed-Cell Foam: NGP's patent-pending Synthetic EPDM Rubber in a Polypropylene Thermoplastic Matrix delivers a Closed Cell Advanced Elastomeric Foam construction with very good abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and shape memory — maintaining a consistent seal over years of door cycling.
- Extreme Temperature Range: Rated from -81°F to 275°F, this weatherstrip performs reliably across harsh climates, cold-storage environments, and high-heat applications without cracking, shrinking, or hardening.
- Flame- and Moisture-Resistant Insert: The black neoprene-style EPDM insert is both flame-resistant and moisture-resistant, suitable for wet and humid environments as well as fire-rated door assemblies.
- Ozone, Sunlight, and Aging Resistance: Good resistance to ozone, UV exposure, and long-term environmental aging helps preserve sealing performance and appearance in exterior or high-UV applications.
- UL-Certified Fire Door Compliance: Certified by UL to CAN/ULC-S104 and ANSI/UL 10B, complying with NFPA 80 and NFPA 252 for Hollow Metal fire doors rated up to 3 hours and Wood fire doors rated up to 90 minutes.
- Positive Pressure Fire Door Certification: Also certified by UL to ANSI/UL 10C, complying with IBC, NFPA 80, and NFPA 252 for Hollow Metal fire doors up to 3 hours and Wood fire doors up to 90 minutes under positive pressure conditions.
- Smoke & Draft Control Gasketing (Category 'H'): Certified by UL to ANSI/UL 10C and ANSI/UL 1784 Category 'H', complying with IBC and NFPA 105 for use on 'S' labeled Positive Pressure Hollow Metal fire doors rated up to 3 hours and Wood fire doors rated up to 90 minutes.
- BHMA Certified Gasketing: Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.22 Performance Tests for Heat and Cold, and listed in the BHMA Certified Products Directory — confirming third-party verified durability and performance.
- Head-and-Jamb Set Convenience: Supplied as a complete three-piece set (one head, two jambs) in your selected opening size, eliminating field measuring and cutting errors common with bulk-roll applications.
- Slotted Screw Holes for Precise Adjustment: Slotted mounting holes allow fine lateral adjustment during installation so the foam compresses evenly across the full door perimeter without gaps or over-compression.
- Stainless Steel Fasteners Included: #6 x 3/4" Stainless Steel Sheet Metal Screws are furnished with every set, providing corrosion-resistant attachment hardware suited to interior and exterior frame conditions.
- Anodized Aluminum Housing: The Anodized Aluminum finish on the 6063-T5 extrusion provides a clean, professional appearance and corrosion protection appropriate for institutional, commercial, and healthcare applications.

Pro-Tip for Perimeter Sealing
The 127NA installs surface-applied directly to the frame stop — no routing or mortising required. Position the extrusion so the EPDM foam contacts the door face evenly, then drive the furnished #6 x 3/4" Stainless Steel Sheet Metal Screws through the slotted screw holes. The slotted holes allow you to shift the strip inward or outward before final tightening, ensuring consistent foam compression from top to bottom of each jamb and across the full width of the head. Install the head piece first as a reference, then hang each jamb piece to match. Because this set is cut to your selected opening size, no field trimming of the aluminum extrusion is required for standard openings.
