Honeywell gvd-8pl 8 Inch Vent Damper Black Motor

Product Description

The HONEYWELL gvd-8pl is an 8-inch vent damper with a black motor, designed to control airflow in residential and light commercial heating systems. Vent dampers are installed in flue or vent piping to open when a heating appliance fires and close when it shuts down, reducing standby heat loss through the flue. The gvd-8pl is installed by licensed HVAC technicians as part of gas-fired heating system service or retrofit work. Its black motor housing identifies the motor type within the GVD product family, allowing technicians to select the correct replacement motor assembly when servicing the damper.

This vent damper is suited for residential and light commercial gas-fired heating applications where flue vent damper control is required. It fits 8-inch vent pipe configurations commonly found in mid- to large-capacity gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters using B-vent or equivalent vent systems. Technicians installing or replacing vent dampers in these systems should verify vent pipe diameter and motor compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the appliance manufacturer instructions.
