Dampers must be installed square and straight and
must not be twisted or racked. Failure to install the
damper square and straight may prevent the damper
blades from operating open and closed.

Electrical and/or pneumatic connections to damper
actuators should be made in accordance with wiring
and piping diagrams developed in compliance with
applicable codes, ordinances and regulations (see
Electrical Guidelines).
