Io Hvac Controls BAL-1616 Balancing Damper 16x16

Product Description

The IO HVAC CONTROLS BAL-1616 is a rectangular electronic balancing damper with an integrated actuator, sized for 16 x 16 inch duct openings. It is designed to regulate and balance airflow within forced-air HVAC distribution systems. The actuator provides motorized control of the damper blade position, allowing precise airflow adjustment without manual intervention. Licensed HVAC technicians install this type of component during system commissioning, zoning upgrades, or airflow correction work in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This damper is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems where airflow balancing is required across multiple zones or branches. It fits inline within rectangular ductwork at the 16 x 16 inch nominal size and is typically installed at branch takeoffs, trunk lines, or zone boundaries. It is appropriate for variable air volume and zoning control setups where an actuator-driven damper is needed to respond to system signals.

Key Features

• Integrated electronic actuator eliminates the need for a separate actuator mounting kit
• Rectangular form factor fits standard 16 x 16 inch duct openings
• Motorized blade control enables precise, repeatable airflow balancing
• Designed for inline duct installation in zoning and balancing applications
• Compact packaged profile supports installation in tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electronic balancing damper for rectangular forced-air duct systems requiring motorized airflow control at 16 x 16 inch duct openings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician familiar with duct system balancing and low-voltage control wiring. Power down the air handler and de-energize all control circuits before beginning installation. Secure the damper inline within the ductwork using standard sheet metal screws and seal all joints per local mechanical code requirements. Refer to the manufacturer wiring diagram for actuator control connections before restoring power.
