Application and Design
The EM-40 series is a horizontally mounted backdraft damper that is designed to allow vertical airflow down and prevent
reverse airflow. The damper is opened by air pressure differential and closed by gravity. Standard models include adjustable
counterbalance weights to assist closing.
