Dampers
Application
Backdraft dampers allow air to flow in one direction only
and prevent unwanted (hot/cold outside air, wind, etc.) from
back-drafting into the building.
They only install in ducts, at walls, or in roofs and open
automatically when air flows in the intended direction and
automatically close when there is no air pressure or when
airflow is in the opposite direction.
Basic Functions
Intake/Exhaust
Barometric/Pressure Relief
Intake
Intake backdraft dampers allow supply airflow into a building
while preventing conditioned air from escaping when the fan
is off.
Typical Applications
Intake Air Duct - Wall or plenum mounted
Intake side of rooftop evaporative cooler
(requires counterbalance)
Exhaust
Exhaust backdraft dampers allow air to automatically exit the
building and prevent outside air from entering the building.
Typical Applications
In tandem with wall mounted exhaust fan.
Exhaust air duct - wall or plenum mounted
Roof top power ventilator Rooftop gravity ventilator

Barometric
Barometric relief dampers open automatically under low velocity
conditions - including natural airflow - and close automatically to
prevent reverse airflow.

Typical Applications
Rooftop gravity ventilator

Roof Top Gravity Ventilator
Pressure Relief
Pressure relief dampers use counterbalance weights to
maintain a relatively constant upstream pressure, they open
automatically at higher pressures and close automatically
when pressures drop.
Typical Applications
Duct or plenum relief
Room relief
