Southwark Metal 44-1_7IN Sheet Metal Duct Damper 7 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 44-1_7IN is a 1-Quad sheet metal duct damper sized for 7-inch round duct. It is used to manually regulate or shut off airflow in low-pressure residential and light commercial duct systems. The blade is constructed from hot dip galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance for long service life in both supply and return air applications. This type of damper is a standard component in forced-air HVAC systems and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors during new construction or duct modification work.

This damper is designed for use in 7-inch round sheet metal ductwork. It suits residential forced-air heating and cooling systems as well as light commercial applications where zone control or branch balancing is needed. The 1-Quad configuration is a common format in trunk-and-branch and radial duct layouts. Installation is straightforward for any sheet metal or HVAC trade professional familiar with standard duct fitting practices.
