Description
- Frame and blades are 6063 extruded aluminum alloy and 200-R1 satin anodized finish.
- The core is permanently mounted to the frame with blades set at 0°, 15° or 30°. Blades are 1/4" thick and spaced 1/2" on center. Mullion bars across the blades provide additional strength.
- An optional opposed blade damper mounts through a series of spring clips and is screwdriver-operated through the face of the unit. The damper frame is separated from the blades with nylon bushings. This method of assembly eliminates corrosion and vibration.
- To achieve a more equally balanced air flow across the face of the grille, an equalizing grid can be mounted on the damper and is available as an option.
- This model is pressure-fitted to the opening in the floor by means of extruded serrated clips placed along the perimeter of the frame.
