Io Hvac Controls BAL-2206 Electronic Balancing Damper

Product Description

The IO HVAC CONTROLS BAL-2206 is a rectangular electronic balancing damper with an integrated actuator, designed for precise airflow control in ducted HVAC distribution systems. The damper measures 22 inches by 6 inches and ships at 11.336 pounds, reflecting a robust assembly built for reliable zone balancing. It combines the damper blade and actuator into a single unit, reducing installation complexity and minimizing the separate components a technician must source and wire on the job. HVAC technicians install this damper in supply or return duct branches where automatic airflow balancing is required.

This damper is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where electronic zone control or static pressure balancing is needed. It fits into rectangular duct runs of the matching face dimension and is typically installed at branch takeoffs or in main trunk segments. The integrated actuator accepts a low-voltage control signal, making it compatible with zoning panels and building automation inputs that modulate damper position to manage airflow distribution across multiple zones.

Key Features

• Rectangular 22-inch by 6-inch face size fits standard duct openings of that dimension
• Integrated actuator eliminates the need for a separately sourced and mounted actuator assembly
• Electronic control input allows modulating or on/off damper operation from a zoning panel or controller
• Overall package depth of 32 inches accommodates actuator housing within the assembly footprint
• Unit weight of 11.336 pounds indicates a full metal damper and actuator construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electronic balancing damper for rectangular duct systems requiring a 22-inch by 6-inch damper opening with an integrated low-voltage actuator.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Power down the air handler and de-energize all low-voltage control circuits before beginning installation or wiring. The damper should be secured to the duct using sheet metal screws at the frame flanges, with joints sealed to prevent air bypass. Low-voltage wiring must comply with NEC Class 2 circuit requirements and the zoning controller manufacturer's wiring guidelines.
