An apparatus for sealing a doorway, more particularly, an all purpose
gasket structure capable of sealing a doorway against the entry of water,
smoke, and fire. The gasket is primarily an elongated silicone rubber
structure having a ridged rectangular cross section for mounting to a
gasket retainer. The gasket also includes a crush zone which collapses
inwardly when pressure is applied to the gasket surface, resulting in
improved sealing and the blockage of water intrusion paths. The gasket
may further include an intumescent section within the elongated silicone
rubber structure. In the sealing arrangement, the gasket is arranged
within a gasket retainer that surrounds the doorway, thereby sealing
boundaries between areas of personal egress.
