Clearances Required Between Damper Sleeves & Wall/Floor Openings
Two-Sided Angle Installation
Two-sided angle installations require clearances for thermal expansion between the damper sleeve and the wall/floor
opening. The minimum required clearances are:
• For galvanized steel dampers and sleeves: 1⁄8 in. per foot (3mm per .3 m) of damper width and 1⁄8 in. per
foot (3mm per .3 m) height with a minimum clearance of 1⁄4 in. (6mm). The total gap may be up to 6 in.
(152mm), 3 in. (76mm) per side, as long as the retaining angles overlap the wall/floor by a minimum of 1 in.
(25mm).
• For stainless steel dampers and stainless steel or galvanized sleeves: 3⁄16 in. per foot (5mm per .3 m) of
damper width and height with a minimum clearance of 1/4 in. (6mm), maximum of 2 in. (51mm).
Example:
A 12 in. x 12 in. (305mm x 305mm) will
require a minimum clearance of 1/4 in.
(6mm) width and 1/4 in. (6mm) on height
A 48 in. x 12 in. (1219mm x 305mm)
damper will required a minimum
clearance of 1/2 in. (13mm) on width and
1/4 in. (13mm) on height.
These are total clearances (ignoring fastener heads) and do not need to be equally spaced around the damper.
Although the minimum requirements are listed above, for ease of installation the following are the recommended
clearances for galvanized dampers:
• Width/Height of 48 in. (1219 mm) or less - ½ in. (13mm) clearance
• Width/Height between 48.01 in. (1220 mm) and 96 in. (2438 mm): 1 in. (25mm) clearance
• Width/Height greater than 96 in. (2438 mm): 1½ in. (38 mm) clearance
Single Side Angle Installation
On vertical mount single side angle installations there are no minimum clearance requirements between the wall
opening and the damper sleeve. However, to facilitate installation, clearances between the wall opening and the
damper sleeve are recommended.
On horizontal mount single side angle installations a minimum clearance is required between the outside of the
damper sleeve and the floor opening of 1⁄8 in. per foot (3mm per .3m) of damper width and 1⁄8 in. per foot
(3mm per .3m) height with a minimum clearance of 1/4 in. (6mm).

Maximum Assembly Tables
When multiple sections are shipped unassembled, installer shall fasten dampers together. The table shows
maximum sizes for multiple section dampers. Dampers that are two or more sections tall must be factory
assembled. Note: All dimensions are shown in inches (W x H). * Sizes listed refer to the damper size, not transition

Openings where duct does not attach on either side will not
require a breakaway connection. Transfer openings are typical of
a non-ducted installation (see Figure 22).
• Sleeve may end flush with the rated wall/floor on both
sides
• Refer to Securing the Damper/Sleeve Assembly to
Wall/Floor Openings for securing retaining angles to
the sleeve.
Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use
mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and
jamb seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.

WD-300 Series
Backdraft Damper
Vertical Mount - Horizontal Airflow
Application
The WD-300 series dampers are designed to prevent reverse
airflow in horizontal exhaust applications. The WD-300 features
a pressure sensitive blade design that opens and remains open
under low velocity conditions. The dampers are opened by air
pressure differential and closed by gravity. Optional motor pack
converts the damper to motorized operation.

Series MP-310 motor pack may be field installed to convert the WD-300 series backdraft damper to motorized operation. Airflow
direction should remain horizontal exhaust when this motorized version is applied. These versatile motor packs feature power opening
with spring return. The springs also provide damper closure in the event of electrical failure.
The MP-310 motor packs are available in voltages of 24, 120, 208, and 440. 575/600 volts may be used with any of the motor packs
by way of a transformer (part no. 380711) and the appropriate 115 volt motor pack (MP-310). MP-310 series motor packs are UL
listed. Please specify voltage when ordering.
There is one motor pack available on the WD-300 series damper to accommodate for larger torque requirements. To determine the
number of motor packs required per WD-300 or WD-320 damper, refer to the table on page 5. To determine the number of motor
packs required per WD-330 damper, refer to the table on page 7. Oversized applications may require several dampers connected
together for one opening.
MP-300 series motor packs are supplied with mounting hardware, assembly instructions and actuator arms for either single, double,
or triple panel installation.

Multiple section dampers shown below are supplied as equal size sections. Any damper that has multiple sections, both vertically and
horizontally, will require field assembly and will require additional reinforcement (not supplied by Greenheck) to support the assembly.
These larger dampers must have the additional reinforcement to give them structural stability.
The width dimension is always parallel to the length of the blades.
Note: The type and number of motor packs required can be found on page 7.

the damper sleeve. The “S” dimension illustrates the clearance
S
required for various available actuators.
On damper less than 18 in. (457mm), actuators may also
require clearances above and/or below the sleeve. “B” and “T”
dimensions are worst case clearance requirements for some
dampers less than 18 in. (457mm) high. All dampers 18 in.
(457mm) or more in height, do not require these worst case
clearances. If space availability above or below the damper
sleeve is limited, each damper size should be individually
evaluated.

Clearances Required Between Damper Sleeves & Wall/Floor Openings
Two-Sided Angle Installation
Two-sided angle installations require clearances for thermal expansion between the damper sleeve and the wall/floor
opening. The minimum required clearances are:
• For galvanized steel dampers and sleeves: 1⁄8 in. per foot (3mm per .3 m) of damper width and 1⁄8 in. per
foot (3mm per .3 m) height with a minimum clearance of 1⁄4 in. (6mm). The total gap may be up to 6 in.
(152mm), 3 in. (76mm) per side, as long as the retaining angles overlap the wall/floor by a minimum of 1 in.
(25mm).
• For stainless steel dampers and stainless steel or galvanized sleeves: 3⁄16 in. per foot (5mm per .3 m) of
damper width and height with a minimum clearance of 1/4 in. (6mm), maximum of 2 in. (51mm).
Example:
A 12 in. x 12 in. (305mm x 305mm) will
require a minimum clearance of 1/4 in.
(6mm) width and 1/4 in. (6mm) on height
A 48 in. x 12 in. (1219mm x 305mm)
damper will required a minimum
clearance of 1/2 in. (13mm) on width and
1/4 in. (6mm) on height.
These are total clearances (ignoring fastener heads) and do not need to be equally spaced around the damper.
Although the minimum requirements are listed above, for ease of installation the following are the recommended
clearances for galvanized dampers:
• Width/Height of 48 in. (1219 mm) or less - ½ in. (13mm) clearance
• Width/Height between 48.01 in. (1220 mm) and 96 in. (2438 mm): 1 in. (25mm) clearance
• Width/Height greater than 96 in. (2438 mm): 1½ in. (38 mm) clearance
Figure 5: Single sleeve around outside with support Figure 6: Two individually sleeved units with no mullions
mullion
Multiple Section Damper Wiring
Dampers greater than 84 in. (2134mm) high will ship in
two ship sections. Conduit whips from ship section will
need to be wired to junction box on ship section with
the closure device (see Figure 7).
When fire and fire smoke dampers are ordered with an
open/close blade position indicating device (included
with the OCI, RRL/OCI, and TOR accessories) one
device is provided per row of damper sections. For
example, a two section high damper assembly will be
provided with two open/closed indicating devices.
Note that all damper sections on a given row are
operated by a single jackshaft and thus forced to
operate in unison. On two section high dampers,
although the two open/closed indicators are not factory
wired together, it is common industry practice to field
wire the two open switches in series and the two closed
switches in series so that the system monitoring the
damper will detect a fault if either row of dampers fails
to reach the end of stroke condition.

Most fire and combination fire smoke dampers come with factory supplied sleeves. For field supplied sleeves, see
the Field Supplied Sleeves supplement at www.greenheck.com. The following are recommended sleeve lengths for
various wall thicknesses:
• Retaining Angle Gauge: Retaining angles for 11/2 hour rated dampers with a width and height 48 in. (1219mm)
or less must be a minimum of 20 ga. (1mm). Retaining angles for all 3 hour rated dampers and all dampers with a
width or height greater than 48 in. (1219mm) must be a minimum of 16 ga. (1.5mm).
• Retaining Angle Size: The leg of the retaining angle on the damper sleeve shall be a minimum of 11/4 in. (32mm).
The leg of the retaining angle on the wall/floor shall be long enough to cover the annular space and overlap the
wall/floor by a minimum of 1 in. (25mm).
• Retaining Angle Attachment to Sleeve: Retaining angles must be attached to the damper using one or more of
the following methods of attachment (refer to label on outside of sleeve for ‘No Screw’ area):
- Tack or spot welds
- #10 (3⁄4 in. [19mm] max.) sheet metal screws
- 1⁄4 in. (6mm) bolts and nuts
- 3⁄16 in. (5mm) steel pop rivets
A minimum of two connections per side, top, and bottom, spaced 12 in. (305mm) O.C. maximum are required for
openings of 48 in. W x 36 in. H (1219mm x 914mm) and less. Dampers greater than 48 in. wide (1219mm) or 36 in.
high (914mm) require the connections to be no more than 6 in. (152mm) O.C..
The angles must be attached to all 4 sides of the sleeve. Ensure that fasteners do not interfere with the operation of

Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use
mild detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and
jamb seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
• The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
• Actuator manufacturer recommendations.

Application
The BR-30 series is an eccentrically pivoted backdraft damper for
low velocity systems. BR-30 series is a vertical mounted damper
and designed to allow horizontal airflow and prevent reverse
airflow. The blade is formed aluminum which increases sensitivity
and reduces blade mounted counterbalance weights. On-blade
counterweights are provided to fine tune start-to-open and full
open blade operation. Ball bearings minimize friction.
Recommended Applications
• Gravity hood intake and exhaust
• Stairwell pressurization
• Room pressurization
• Ductwork outlets
Poor Applications
• Propeller fan outlets (high velocity)
• Centrifugal fan outlets (high velocity)
• Building pressurization (sensitive to wind)

Damper Maintenance
Greenheck's dampers are designed to be trouble free and hassle free under normal operation. Dampers are to
installed square and straight so as to prevent binding during operation. the following annual damper maintenance
suggestions will help to insure proper damper operation and increase the life expectancy of the damper.
Foreign Matter Over the course of time, dirt and grime may collect on damper surfaces. The damper surfaces
should be cleaned to prevent hindrance to airflow.
Moving Parts Make sure that parts such as linkage, bearings, blades, etc. that are intended to move freely, can do
so. Lubricating these components can prevent possible rusting and unnecessary friction increase.
Use only a moli-spray oil or similar graphite based oil as regular lubricating oil will attract dirt.
Bearings. Synthetic, oil impregnated, and ball bearings (without grease fittings) do not require
lubrication. Ball bearings with grease fittings require only minimal grease.
Closure Remove foreign materials that may be interfering with blade closure or effective sealing of the blades
with each other or with the frame.
Operation While operating the damper through its full cycle, check to see that the blades open and close
properly. If there is a problem, check for loose linkage, especially at the actuator. Tighten the linkage
where required.
