Greenheck Blade Seal Replacement (HCD Series) - Manual

• Install when blade surface is above 70°F or above.
• Cut seal material slightly longer than blade with release
paper still on seal material.
• Start at one end of blade. Peel off 1-2 feet of release
paper at a time and place seal firmly onto blade surface.
Do NOT touch the adhesive. Use finger or roller to press
seal to blade. Do NOT stretch seal as it will pop off in
time.
• Trim seal material at blade end as required. Excess seal
is prone to pulling from blade surface and will force jamb
seal away, increasing leakage.
Silicone Seal with Silicone Adhesive
Tremco Spectrem 1 adhesive is used to adhere silicone
seal to painted surfaces, as PSA adhesives will not bond
to most powder painted surfaces.
• Open blades. Use scraper to remove any existing seal
or adhesive.
• Cut seal to approximate length with release material still
on seal.
• Clean blade in the same manner as above. Temperature
limits also apply.
• Apply thin 1/8 in. bead of Tremco Spectrem 1 to blade
surface. Spread adhesive using a putty knife or scraper
to approximately ½ in. (13 mm) wide.
• Install seal to blade edge, starting at one end and re-
moving release paper as one moves down blade. Do
NOT stretch seal.
• Press seal firmly into place. If seal was stretched, length
will shrink.
• Allow adhesive material to cure 15 minutes. Trim seal to
length.

Blade Seal Replacement
Instructions
for HCD, VCD, SMD, FSD, series
Note: Wipe down blade with Isopropyl Alcohol before seals are
applied to blades.
Greenheck offers three different blade styles and
uses four different attachment methods for control
damper blade seals. These instructions address either
replacement or initial installation.
3-V Blade Style
Applicable to Models: VCD-18, VCD-23, SEVCD-23,
SMD-201, SMD-202, FSD-211, FSD-212,FSD-231,
CFSD-211, CFSD-212, OFSD-211, OFSD-212,
SSFSD-211,SEFSD-211, HCD-120, HCD-220
Clip-On
The vinyl seal, also known as dual-durometer, pushes
onto the blade edge and is held by the friction between
the blade material and directional projections inside
the rigid plastic clip. Seal material is cut-to-length
before installing. Seal is normally installed to the
drive blade and to every blade tip on the same side of
damper.
Stainless Steel/Silicone Composite
Silicone rubber seal has a stainless steel clip to
mechanically fasten seal to the blade edge. Installation
is the same as the vinyl seal.
Silicone or EPDM Seal with Pressure Sensitive
Adhesive (PSA)
• Open blades. Use scraper to remove any existing
seal or adhesive.
• Surface must be free from dust, dirt, oil and moisture.
Clean blade edge with alcohol or similar solvents.
Do not use mineral spirits or other petroleum based
solvents that leave a residue.
Note:
- Blade and closure strip must be cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol to remove oil prior to application of seal to ensure complete adhesion.
- Apply seal to blade and closure with moderate pressure with a roller.
