INSTALLATION GUIDE  

DWFX-C Installation Method

Health and safety

•  This process must be undertaken by competent per-

sons. More than one person may be required to ensure 
the safe handling of large dampers and other materi-
als. Use must be made of access equipment to ensure 

unsafe practices are not used to approach walls or diffi

-

cult access areas.

•  Standard site PPE should be used (minimum steel toe 

cap boots, hard hat); together with any protective 
eyewear, gloves and masks, when drilling or cutting is 
being undertaken. The latter should also be used when 

handing the wall construction materials, as defined by 

the material suppliers. If loud equipment is being used, 
hearing protection should be used.

•  All waste materials should be collected and disposed of 

as defined by the relevant supplier.

•  Actuators: All wiring should be carried out in accor-

dance with the wiring details provided by the IEE and 
BS regulations and by a competent person. Care must 
be taken when installing and inspecting dampers, as 
they are likely to close without warning due to loss of 
electrical power or a temperature rise in the ductwork. 
This is their prime function. Do not insert any items, 

fingers or limbs between the blades. Larger dampers 

must be handled in accordance with current regula-
tions and good practice due to weight.
