Io Hvac Controls BAL-1612 Electronic Balancing Damper

Product Description

The IO HVAC CONTROLS BAL-1612 is a rectangular electronic balancing damper with an integrated actuator, sized for 16 x 12 inch duct openings. It is designed to regulate airflow in forced-air HVAC systems by modulating the damper blade position through electronic actuation. This assembly combines the damper body and actuator into a single unit, simplifying installation and reducing the number of separate components required. Licensed HVAC technicians install this type of component during system commissioning or when rebalancing existing ductwork to correct airflow distribution issues across zones or branches.

The BAL-1612 is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where precise airflow balancing is required in rectangular duct runs. It is typically installed in trunk lines or branch takeoffs where airflow needs to be throttled or fully controlled. Applications include zoning systems, variable air volume installations, and retrofit balancing projects where manual balancing dampers are being replaced with electronically controlled alternatives.

Key Features

• Integrated actuator and damper body in a single assembly for streamlined installation
• Sized for 16 x 12 inch rectangular duct openings
• Electronic actuation allows precise airflow modulation or on/off control
• Compact profile at 22.75 inches depth fits within standard duct runs
• Suitable for new construction and retrofit balancing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electronic balancing damper for use in 16 x 12 inch rectangular duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Power down the air handler and de-energize all related control circuits before mounting or wiring the damper assembly. The unit must be secured to the duct in accordance with applicable mechanical codes and the manufacturer's instructions, with proper support to carry the weight of the integrated actuator. Refer to the control system wiring diagram for correct low-voltage signal connections before restoring power.
