Transitioned Damper Dimensions

When a fire/smoke damper is being used in conjunction with round or oval ductwork, the SMD-401M can be supplied in a 

factory sleeve with round or oval transitions on both ends of the sleeve. Dampers should be ordered to the duct dimensions. 

Drawings below show overall damper size.

* These dimensions are furnished approximately

 

1/4

 in. (6mm) undersize, except round and oval dimensions which are 

approximately

 1/8

 in. (3mm) undersize.

Ts = (2)(Sleeve Thickness)

Smoke Dampers meeting the following specifications 

shall be furnished and installed where shown on plans 

and/or as described in schedules. Dampers shall meet 

the requirements of NFPA 90A, 92A, 92B, 101 and 105 and 

further shall be tested, rated and labeled in accordance with 

the latest edition of UL Standard 555S. Smoke dampers 

shall be of low leakage design qualified to UL 555S Leakage 

Class I.

Each damper /actuator combination shall have a UL555S 

elevated temperature rating of 250°F (121ºC) minimum and 

shall be  rated to operate at maximum design airflow at its 

installed location. Each damper shall be supplied with an 

appropriate actuator installed by the damper manufacturer 

at the time of damper fabrication. Damper actuator shall be 

(specifier select one of the following) electric type for 24 volt 

operation.

Damper blades shall be hollow extruded aluminum airfoil 

type with structural reinforcing tube running full length of 

each blade. Damper frame shall be galvanized steel formed 

into a structural hat channel shape with reinforced corners. 

Bearings shall be sintered bronze sleeve type rotating in 

extruded holes in the damper frame. Blade edge seals 

shall be silicone rubber designed to inflate and provide a 

tighter seal against leakage as pressure on either side of 

the damper increases. Jamb seals shall be stainless steel 

compression type. Damper must be rated for mounting 

vertically (with blades running horizontal) or horizontally and 

be UL 555S rated for leakage and airflow in either direction 

through the damper.

The basis of design is Greenheck Model SMD-401M.
