Description

A heavy duty rectangular multi-blade volume control damper for balancing and regulating airflow in larger and higher-duty HVAC ductwork. Of robust construction with an aerodynamic 100mm airfoil blade profile, it is designed for systems involving high air pressures and velocities, offering smooth airflow with minimal pressure drop. The enclosed drive mechanism sits entirely outside the airstream, maximising free area while protecting the linkage from impact damage and airborne contamination.

The damper is rated for a velocity range up to 20 m/s and duct pressures up to 2000 Pa. It is DW144 compliant, achieving case leakage Classes A, B and C, and conforms to Eurovent 2/2 Classes A–C. Closed-blade leakage performance has been tested to EN 1751. On flanged units, side covers enclose the drive linkage to ensure Class C case leakage and to safeguard against contact with the moving mechanism.

Choose Flangefit or Spigotfit connection and a case and blades in galvanised steel or 430-grade stainless steel to suit the application. Control options include hand quadrant control, a factory-fitted extended spindle (19.05mm diameter) for actuation by others, or a factory-fitted 24V or 230V electric actuator. The design allows on-site conversion between manual and motorised control without a conversion kit or special tools.

Every unit is made to order to your exact width × height, manufactured from 1.2mm steel with welded, sealed corners and a standard 130mm deep case. Suggested operating temperature range is +5°C to +70°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose a heavy duty damper over a standard volume control damper?

Choose heavy duty for larger ducts and higher-duty systems: it is rated for air velocities up to 20 m/s and duct pressures up to 2000 Pa, roughly double the standard damper’s 1000 Pa rating. Its aerodynamic 100mm airfoil blades give smooth airflow with minimal pressure drop, and it can be manufactured in much larger single sections than the standard range.

How is the heavy duty damper constructed?

The damper is manufactured from 1.2mm steel with welded, sealed corners and a 130mm deep case as standard. The 100mm airfoil blades sit on a 100mm pitch, and the enclosed drive mechanism is entirely outside the airstream, maximising free area while protecting the linkage from impact and airborne contamination. Case and blades come in galvanised steel or 430-grade stainless steel.

Which control options are available?

These dampers are supplied with a lockable hand quadrant. Extended-spindle versions (19.05mm diameter, for actuation by others) and factory-motorised versions are available on request — contact us with your requirements. The design allows on-site conversion between manual and motorised control without special tools, so a hand-controlled damper can be motorised later if the system changes.

What leakage standards does it achieve?

The damper is DW144 compliant, achieving case leakage Classes A, B and C, and conforms to Eurovent 2/2 Classes A to C. Closed-blade leakage performance has been tested to EN 1751. On flanged units, side covers enclose the drive linkage to ensure Class C case leakage and guard against contact with the moving mechanism.

Can I order an exact size?

Yes — every heavy duty damper is made to order to your exact width and height. Enter the flange size for Flangefit units or the spigot size for Spigotfit units in the size fields on the product page and the price is calculated instantly. Because these are manufactured to measure, please allow the lead time shown on the product page.
