Research Products 6839 Aprilaire Damper 12x24 in

Product Description

The RESEARCH PRODUCTS 6839 is a 12 x 24 inch zone damper designed for use in forced-air HVAC duct systems. This damper controls airflow through a duct section, allowing technicians to balance air distribution or implement zone control across different areas of a structure. At 9.80 pounds, the unit is built with the mass expected of a commercial-grade damper blade assembly. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary installers for this type of equipment.

This damper is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air zoning applications where a 12 x 24 inch duct opening is present. It is intended for installation within a supply or return trunk line as part of a zoned HVAC system. The 6839 is an AprilAire-compatible damper fitting the specified duct dimensions, making it appropriate for new zoning installations or direct replacement of an existing 12 x 24 inch damper in the same product family.
