    Incremental HVAC Duct Damper Actuators

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Duct Damper Actuators. Incremental HVAC Duct Damper Actuators.
    When duct airflow varies from the setpoint, these actuators open and close until the system requirement is restored. Use to automatically adjust dampers to regulate airflow. Actuators attach to the damper shaft to rotate it open and closed when signaled by a controller (not included).

    Proportional HVAC Duct Damper Actuators

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Duct Damper Actuators. Proportional HVAC Duct Damper Actuators.
    This actuator provides better control than incremental actuators because it is constantly being positioned in response to duct airflow requirements. Use to automatically adjust dampers to regulate airflow. It attaches to the damper shaft to rotate it open and closed when signaled by a controller (not included). Actuator can be set to return the damper to an open or closed position if the power fails. Use the crank for precise adjustments.

    Duct Fire Dampers

    In case of a fire, these dampers shut automatically to stop airflow. They have a fusible link that melts at 165° F, releasing a spring to close the blade. Dampers meet UL 555 fire safety standards to help prevent the spread of fire for 11/2 hours. They are undersized to fit inside duct.

    Wall-Vent Flue-Gas Exhausters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flue-Gas Exhausters. Wall-Vent Flue-Gas Exhausters.
    Often used for electric-to-gas conversions and renovations, these exhausters allow gas- or oil-fired equipment to be vented through a sidewall rather than a chimney. A thermostat signal starts the exhauster and a sensor ensures proper draft prior to operation. Exhausters have an open dripproof motor enclosure for relatively clean, dry, indoor locations. Use a reducer to vent through ducts with diameters up to 2" wider than the exhauster.
    Flue-Gas Exhauster Hoods—A flue-gas exhauster hood (sold separately) is required for the exterior of the sidewall.

    These dampers improve furnace performance by automatically opening and closing to maintain a consistent airflow despite changing environmental conditions.
    Single-Acting Damper—Single-acting dampers open inward to prevent strong drafts from pulling too much heat into the chimney vent.
    Double-Acting Damper—Double-acting dampers open both inward and outward to relieve pressure caused by obstructions and downdrafts.

    The simplest, most reliable way to regulate airflow in standard duct. Turn the lever to adjust the blade.
    Gasketed Airflow Damper—The blade has a rubber gasket to prevent leaks better than other dampers.
    Galvanized Steel—Strong and corrosion resistant, galvanized steel is the most commonly used ductwork material.
    Lightweight Aluminum—One-third the weight of steel, aluminum duct is easier to handle during installation. It resists rust in wet environments but won’t last as long as steel.
