Space Envelopes
Externally mounted actuators always require space outside of the damper side plate or sleeve. On dampers, less than 18 in. (457mm) high, actuators may also require clearances above and/or below the side plate or sleeve. “B” and “T” dimensions are worst-case clearance requirements for some dampers less than 18 in. (457mm) high. All dampers 18 in. (457mm) or more in height, do not require these worst case clearances. If space availability above or below the damper sleeve is limited, each damper size should be individually evaluated.

When the damper height is 18 in. (457mm) or greater, these dimensions are zero

Contained Actuator Option
Dampers can be ordered with a “contained actuator option”. This option will result in the actuator being oriented such that it extends no more than 11⁄2 inches above or below the sleeve. Note that some damper configurations that are 11 inches high or less will have the OCI mounted on the side opposite the actuator when the contained actuator option is selected.

Sleeve and Sideplate Dimensions
The drawings below illustrate the factory standard side plate and sleeve mountings for the SMD-401. The standard “A” dimensions listed in the table provide adequate space for the mounting of actuators and controls. If space constraints are a problem the “A” dimension can be varied between 6 3⁄16 in. (157mm) and 16 in. (406mm).

Transitioned Damper Dimensions

When a fire/smoke damper is being used in conjunction with round or oval ductwork, the SMD-401 can be supplied in a factory sleeve with round or oval transitions on both ends of the sleeve. Dampers should be ordered to the duct dimensions. The drawings below show the overall damper size.* These dimensions are furnished approximately 1⁄4 in. (6mm) undersize, except round and oval dimensions which are approximately 1⁄8 in. (3mm)undersize.

• Ts = (2)(Sleeve Thickness)

Multiple Section Dampers

Dampers larger than the maximum single section size are supplied as a factory assembly of two or more sections of equal size. The following figures show the maximum damper section size and assembly configurations for multi-section dampers.
