Blower Door System (tight enclosures) details

The blower door systems (US200, EU200, UK200) include all of the parts listed above for
a typical duct testing system, except instead of a Flex Duct, the Blower Door systems
include an Aluminum Frame and Cloth Door Panel to tightly fit the Model 200 fan into a
doorway. A similar system is available with the 300 fan.

Also included is a hard-sided case for the Aluminum Frame. The gauge can be placed
securely into the included gauge holder that holds it upright on the Aluminum Frame for
easy access during a Blower Door test.

To expand your DucTester into a Blower Door system for testing tight enclosures, you only need to add a
Low-Flow Cloth Door Panel with Aluminum Frame.
