Product Identity
The Field Controls GVD-7PL is a 24 VAC automatic vent damper designed for gas-fired heating appliances. It suits installers and facility managers who need reliable draft control on residential or light-commercial equipment.
Sustained Operation
Dual safety switches ensure the burner fires only when the damper is fully open, preventing residual heat loss and cold-air infiltration during off cycles. The stainless steel body resists corrosion through continuous seasonal use, and the motor rests without power when the damper sits open or closed.
Installation Notes
A keyed wiring harness connector plugs in only one way to avoid miswiring, though the harness itself is sold separately as the GVD-UWK. A hold-open switch lets technicians lock the damper open for troubleshooting. The unit fits 24 VAC, 60 Hz intermittent or standing-pilot ignition systems.

Questions about this item
How much electricity does the 24V damper motor draw when it sits idle all day?
Power is removed from the motor when the damper is at rest, so there is no continuous draw.
Which separate kit supplies the wiring harness this damper needs to connect?
The GVD-UWK harness kit provides the keyed connector that plugs in only one way.
Will the 15-second open and close cycle work with my existing 24 VAC 60 Hz ignition system?
Yes, it operates with all 24 VAC 60 Hz intermittent and standing pilot ignition systems.
