Honeywell gvd-4pl 4 Inch Vent Damper Black Motor

Product Description

The HONEYWELL gvd-4pl is a 4-inch vent damper equipped with a black motor, designed to control airflow in residential and light commercial venting systems. The damper opens and closes automatically in response to system operation, reducing standby heat loss through the flue when the appliance is not firing. Licensed HVAC technicians typically install this component as part of a gas-fired heating appliance venting assembly. The black motor designation indicates the actuator color and motor type, which is relevant for identification and replacement ordering.

This vent damper is suited for use in vented gas appliance installations where a 4-inch vent connector is present. Typical applications include natural-draft gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters that require a motorized flue damper to improve seasonal efficiency. The damper installs inline in the vent connector between the appliance draft hood and the flue, and operates automatically with the appliance control circuit.

Key Features

• 4-inch vent diameter matches standard residential vent connector sizing
• Motorized operation opens the damper on appliance call and closes on burner shutoff
• Black motor assembly for straightforward field identification and replacement
• Designed for inline installation in single-appliance vent connector runs
• Reduces flue standby losses between heating cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement motorized vent damper for 4-inch vent connector applications on natural-draft gas-fired heating appliances. Cross-reference part number RVGP-KS-4BKF for alternate sourcing or replacement verification.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC or gas appliance technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and the appliance manufacturer instructions. Shut off gas supply and disconnect power to the appliance before beginning installation. The damper must be installed in the correct flow orientation as marked on the body, and all vent joints must be properly secured and sealed per IFGC requirements.
