Io Hvac Controls BAL-2418 Electronic Balancing Damper 24x18

Product Description

The IO HVAC CONTROLS BAL-2418 is a rectangular electronic balancing damper with an integrated actuator, sized for 24 x 18 inch ductwork. It is designed to regulate and balance airflow within forced-air HVAC distribution systems. The actuator is factory-mounted, eliminating the need for a separate motor installation on the job. Weighing 12.636 pounds, this unit is built for permanent installation in commercial and residential air distribution systems where precise zone control or airflow balancing is required. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the typical installing trades.

The BAL-2418 fits applications where a 24 x 18 inch rectangular duct section requires motorized balancing control. It is suited for VAV-style zoning systems, multi-zone residential builds, and commercial air distribution networks where individual branch dampers must be modulated or set to a fixed position. The actuator receives a control signal to position the damper blade, allowing system balancing without manual damper adjustment at the duct.

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 air handling system and confirm zero airflow before installing or servicing the damper. Verify control signal wiring compatibility with the building automation or zone control system before connecting the actuator. Follow local code requirements for duct sealing and fastening at the damper frame.
