Questions about this item
What air velocity does the 2000 fpm rating cap in practice?
The damper is rated for a maximum air velocity of 2000 fpm, which sets the practical limit for airflow through the 1.6 sq ft free area without exceeding design pressure.
What rough opening does the 16 in square frame need to fit?
It requires a 16 in by 16 in square rough opening, matching the 15-3/4 in overall height and width for a flush mount in horizontal or vertical orientation.
How is the spring-loaded panel installed, and what step is often missed?
Mount the galvanized steel frame in the square opening with the panel hinged for gravity or spring closure; the step often missed is ensuring the 2 in frame depth clears the duct interior so the single panel swings freely.
