loads superimposed by the dampers.
2. Concrete to be a minimum of 7 in. thick (normal weight) with a compressive strength of 4,000 psi or better.
3. Anchor mounting plates must be 1/4 in. thick with yield strength of 30,000 psi minimum.

Damper Maintenance

Greenheck's dampers are designed to be trouble free and hassle free under normal operation. Dampers are to be

installed square and straight so as to prevent binding during operation. The following annual damper maintenance

suggestions will help to insure proper damper operation and increase the life expectancy of the damper.
Foreign Matter Over the course of time, dirt and grime may collect on damper surfaces. The damper surfaces should

be cleaned to prevent hindrance to airflow.

Moving Parts

Make sure that parts such as linkage, bearings, blades, etc. that are intended to move freely, can do

so. Lubricating these components can prevent possible rusting and unnecessary friction increase. Use

only a molybdenum spray oil or similar graphite based oil on sleeve bearings as regular lubricating oil

will attract dirt.

Bearings.

Synthetic, oil impregnated, carbon sleeve, and ball bearings (without grease fittings) do not

require lubrication. Ball bearings with grease fittings should be lubricated as follows:

Maximum Duct Temperature

Minimum Frequency

250° F

121° C

NLG1 Grade 2 lithium
12-hydrostearate grease

twice a year

600° F

316° C

Hi temperature synthetic,
Mobillith SHC100 or equal

four times a year

Closure

Remove foreign materials that may be interfering with blade closure or effective sealing of the blades

with each other or with the frame.

Blade Seals. Inspect yearly and replace as necessary.
Axle Seals. Inspect and adjust as necessary.
Operation

While operating the damper through its full cycle, check to see that the blades open and close

properly. If there is a problem, check for loose linkage. Tighten the linkage where required.
