Automatic Gas Vent Damper
The Field Controls GVD-8PL is a 24 VAC automatic vent damper designed for gas heating systems. It opens to permit natural draft during appliance operation and closes to stop residual heat and conditioned air from escaping during off cycles. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long service life.
Integration Requirements
The damper operates with 24 VAC, 60 Hz intermittent or standing pilot ignition systems and installs in the vent connector. A separate GVD-UWK wiring harness is required and connects via a keyed plug that prevents incorrect wiring. Dual safety switches allow the burner to fire only when the damper is fully open.
Thermal and Electrical Behaviour
The motor draws power only while moving, opening or closing in 15 seconds, and rests with power off at the motor. A hold-open switch lets technicians lock the damper open for appliance troubleshooting. The stainless steel body withstands flue-gas temperatures without warping or corrosion.
