Specification & Selection

HVAC Dampers — FAQs

Selection guidance and common specification questions for consultants, contractors and procurement teams.

What types of damper does KBG manufacture?

Opposed- and parallel-blade volume-control dampers (VCD), motorised and fusible-link fire dampers, combined fire/smoke dampers, back-draught (non-return) dampers and gas-tight isolation dampers for industrial ducts.

What is the difference between an opposed-blade and a parallel-blade damper?

Opposed-blade dampers give more linear, stable flow control and are preferred for balancing and modulation; parallel-blade dampers are typically used for open/close isolation. We advise the type based on whether the duty is control or shut-off. Our volume control damper selection & balancing guide covers blade type, leakage class and damper authority in detail.

Which standards do your fire and smoke dampers meet?

Fire dampers are built and rated to recognised fire-test standards (e.g. UL 555 / relevant IS) for the required fire rating, with fusible-link or motorised actuation and factory leakage testing.

Do you provide actuators and control accessories?

Yes. Dampers can be supplied with manual quadrants, or with modulating/spring-return actuators and end-switches, so they integrate directly with the BMS.
