Malco 50098 6 Inch Double Damper with Metal Handle

Product Description

The MALCO 50098 is a 6-inch double damper with an H1 metal handle, designed for airflow control in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Double damper construction allows for precise regulation of conditioned air through round duct runs. The metal handle provides a durable, tool-free adjustment point for balancing airflow at the register or branch takeoff. This type of damper is a standard component installed by licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors during system commissioning or retrofit work.

This damper is suited for installation in 6-inch round duct branches in forced-air heating and cooling systems. It is typically installed in supply runs where individual zone or room airflow balancing is required. The H1 metal handle style is a common configuration in residential new construction and service replacement applications where a reliable, manually adjustable damper is needed.

Key Features

• 6-inch diameter double damper for round duct applications
• H1 metal handle provides durable manual airflow adjustment
• Double damper design enables more balanced flow control than single-blade configurations
• Suited for supply branch balancing in forced-air HVAC systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 6-inch round duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor. Power down the air handler or furnace before cutting into or modifying any duct section. Secure the damper in the duct run using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with approved duct tape or mastic per local mechanical code requirements. Do not restrict airflow beyond system design parameters, as excessive damper closure can cause static pressure buildup and equipment damage.
