Application and Design
The WD-400 series are non-motorized backdraft dampers which may be mounted either vertically for intake air or mounted
horizontally to allow vertical airflow down and prevent reverse airflow. The dampers are opened by air pressure differential and
closed by springs. Optional motor packs are not available.
