Trox multi-leaf volume control dampers have been specifically The casing is a rigid and robust assembly formed from either
designed for use in ventilation systems for volume, flow and channel frame for flanged connection to duct work, top hat
pressure control. In addition, the type C2/C3 with side and tip section for spigot style connection or top hat sleeve to slide in
seals satisfies the closed blade leakage requirements specified ducting. The blades are formed single skin with grooved blade
in UL 555S Class 11. tips to provide interlocking closure. Blade action is, as standard,
Type VCD dampers are available for square, rectangular, parallel but can be optionally opposed action. Blade tip seals
circular and flat oval ducting. and side seals can be fitted for low leakage applications. The
dampers can be fitted with hand locking quadrant or can be
power operated by electric or pneumatic actuators.
