Technical Information
FAMCO Pressure Relief Dampers Benefits
Residential Use:
Essential for maintaining consistent pressure in multi-story homes.
Commercial Use:
Designed for systems with multiple zones, where varying airflows could lead to pressure imbalances that affect the operation of the entire system.
Pressure Relief/Barometric Damper:
Commonly used to relieve built-up pressure in zoned duct systems. The sliding weight can be adjusted to open when a certain pressure is reached, ensuring optimal ventilation.
Proper Placement:
Install pressure relief dampers where pressure build-up is likely to occur. These dampers are manually set to automate airflow management.
Vent Selection:
Choose dampers based on climate and specific ventilation needs.Â
Professional Installation:
While some dampers may be installed by DIYers, professional installation is recommended for complex systems or areas with challenging access.
