Io Hvac Controls BAL-1212 Electronic Balancing Damper 12x12

Product Description

The IO HVAC CONTROLS BAL-1212 is a rectangular electronic balancing damper with an integrated actuator, sized for 12 x 12 inch duct openings. It is designed to provide precise airflow control in forced-air HVAC systems by modulating the damper blade position through an electric actuator rather than a manual quadrant. This makes it well suited for zoning applications, VAV-style balancing, and any installation where repeatable, adjustable airflow restriction is needed without manual access to the damper after installation. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the typical installers for this type of component.

The BAL-1212 fits rectangular duct systems with a 12 x 12 inch opening and is used in both new construction and retrofit zoning projects. Typical applications include residential and light commercial forced-air systems where individual zones or branch runs require independent airflow balancing. The actuator drive allows the damper position to be set or modulated from a zone controller or BAS signal, eliminating the need for manual blade adjustment after the duct is enclosed or installed in a tight space.

Key Features

• Integrated electric actuator eliminates the need for a separate actuator mounting kit
• Rectangular form factor sized for 12 x 12 inch duct openings
• Electronic control allows remote positioning for zoning and airflow balancing
• Compact package footprint: 13 inches wide, 6.75 inches tall, 18.75 inches deep
• Suitable for new construction and retrofit forced-air duct installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electronic balancing damper for rectangular forced-air duct systems with a 12 x 12 inch opening, compatible with standard HVAC zone control systems that accept an electronic actuator signal.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. De-energize the HVAC system and any associated zone control wiring before beginning installation. Ensure the duct section is properly supported and that the damper is oriented according to the airflow direction marked on the unit. Verify actuator control signal compatibility with the zone controller before powering up the system.
