WD-400 SERIES
Non-Motorized Backdraft Damper
Horizontal or Vertical Mount (Intake)
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.

•
Multiple section dampers shown below are supplied as equal size sections. Any damper that has multiple sections, both
vertically and horizontally, will require field assembly and will require additional reinforcement (not supplied by Greenheck)
to support the assembly. These larger dampers must have the additional reinforcement to give them structural stability.
•
Please note that the width dimension is always taken as being parallel to the length of the blades.
