RUSKIN CFD7T Ceiling Dampers for Wood Truss Assemblies

APPLICATION

Model CFD7T is designed to function as a heat barrier in HVAC openings penetrating ceilings constructed from wood trusses. The CFD7T has been UL tested to provide protection in UL ceiling design L528, L546, L558, L574, L585, L586, L592, P533, P538, P545, P548, P580 and H502. without the added requirement for insulated boots, boxes or plenums.

DAMPER MODELS

• CFD7T – No Plenum Box
• CFD7T-IB6 – R6 Duct Lined Stl. Plenum Box (Max 1 sq. Ft.)
• CFD7T-SB – Steel Plenum Box
• CFD7T-90-BT – 90-degree Boot
• CFD7T-END-BT – End Boot
• CFD7T-ST-BT – Stright Boot
• CFD7T-R6-DB – R6 Duct Board

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The ceiling damper and associated components (air devices, duct, duct drop, etc.) must be constructed of steel. The grille/diffuser frame shall be a minimum of 26 gauge (0.55) steel. For nonferrous air devices or through ceiling membrane penetration a steel plaster flange is required. The flexible duct must be class 0 or 1 type and bear the UL listing mark and shall be attached to the plenum collar with steel clamps, plastic straps, or a minimum 18 gauge steel wire. The fiberglass duct board plenum box shall be UL 181 listed. Field-supplied plenum boxes not to exceed 10 Ib. The installation and air device shown in these instructions illustrates general arrangements only. Installation must incorporate applicable requirements for the specific Floor/ceiling or Roof/ceiling construction in the UL Fire Resistance Directory.

CEILING PENETRATIONS

Ceiling penetrations should be located between adjacent truss and RC or Furring channels. If required, a maximum of one RC or Furring channel may be cut or notched to enable proper damper location. The clearance between the damper assembly and the cutout in the ceiling material shall be a maximum of 1/8” (3) on any side.

CEILING PENETRATIONS

• Support Angle to Damper: minimum of two #8 sheet metal screws, 3/16” (4) tubular rivets, tack or spot-welds per angle.
• Support Angle to Truss: minimum of #8 x 3/4” long screw or #6 penny nail 1” long (25).
• Grill/Diffuser frame to damper: minimum of two #8 x 1 1/4” (32) min. screws through the ceiling material and into the plaster flange or sub-frame.
• Retaining Angle to Plaster Flange or Sub-frame: minimum of #8 x 1 1/4” (32) min. screws through the ceiling material and into the plaster flange or sub-frame. One screw per side required on units 10” (254) long and under, and two screws per side on units above 10” (254) long. Round units maximum of 3 screws required.
• Make sure fasteners do not interfere with the damper operation.

UL CLASSIFIED

• UL555C Listing R8039
