Volume, Fire & Smoke Dampers
Volume Control Dampers
The DD Series Duct Balancing Damper was designed for duct installations to balance/regulate airflow.
All spindles revolve in low maintenance nylon bushes which are fitted within pressed inserts. Precise blade positioning is achieved via a robust dual-purpose quadrant and spindle assembly, operating the linkage mechanism which is located outside of the airstream.
The quadrant assembly is designed to facilitate simple conversion to motorisation without the need for additional components.
