Research Products 6114 Mechanical Bypass Damper 24V

Product Description

The RESEARCH PRODUCTS 6114 is a mechanical bypass damper designed for use in forced-air HVAC systems where pressure balancing between supply and return air is required. Operating at 24 volts, this round damper is constructed from galvanized steel and stands 14.75 inches in height. It automatically diverts excess air when zone dampers close, preventing static pressure buildup that can damage blower motors and reduce system efficiency. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component as part of zoned ducted systems in both new construction and retrofit applications.

The 6114 is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air zoning installations where a mechanical pressure relief solution is needed. Its round configuration fits standard round duct applications, making it a common choice when installing or servicing zoned HVAC systems that use zone control boards and motorized zone dampers. The 24-volt control voltage aligns with standard low-voltage HVAC control wiring found in most residential systems.

Key Features

• Mechanical bypass action relieves excess static pressure in zoned duct systems
• 24-volt control voltage compatible with standard low-voltage HVAC controls
• Galvanized steel construction for durability in duct environments
• Round shape fits standard round duct configurations
• 14.75-inch height accommodates typical residential duct installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bypass damper for residential forced-air zoning systems requiring a round, 24-volt mechanical bypass solution.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician familiar with zoned forced-air systems. Disconnect and lock out power to the air handler and zone control board before beginning any ductwork connections or low-voltage wiring. Ensure the damper is mounted in the bypass duct run according to the system designer's static pressure calculations. Follow local mechanical codes and the manufacturer's installation guide for proper orientation and wiring terminations.
