Seal-tite 182-2608 Duct Volume Damper 26x8 in

Product Description

The SEAL-TITE 182-2608 is a duct volume damper sized at 26 inches by 8 inches, designed to regulate airflow within HVAC duct systems. Volume dampers are installed inside ductwork to manually or mechanically control the volume of conditioned air delivered to a zone or room. This damper provides a physical blade or plate mechanism that can be adjusted to restrict or open airflow as needed for proper system balancing. HVAC technicians and sheet metal installers typically specify and install duct volume dampers during new construction or system retrofits where zone control or balancing is required.

This damper is suited for rectangular duct applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems where airflow balancing across multiple zones or branches is required. It fits inline within a 26-inch by 8-inch duct run and is adjusted during system commissioning to achieve the design CFM for each branch. Installers commonly use these dampers in trunk-and-branch duct layouts where individual runs need to be tuned to prevent over- or under-delivery of conditioned air to specific spaces.

Key Features

• 26 inches by 8 inches nominal size fits standard rectangular duct openings of matching dimensions
• Volume control blade allows manual airflow adjustment for system balancing
• Inline duct installation suits trunk-and-branch and plenum-fed duct layouts
• Supports zone balancing in residential and light commercial HVAC applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation volume damper for rectangular duct systems with a 26-inch by 8-inch opening in residential and light commercial HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal mechanic. Power down the air handling unit and ensure the system is not operating before cutting into or modifying ductwork. The damper should be secured within the duct in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical code requirements. Adjust the damper blade position during system commissioning after all duct connections are sealed and the system is fully operational.
