The Gilbert’s 2007 Ductgard

presents a re-engineered range of

combined fire and smoke dampers

suitable for use in HVAC ductwork

systems.

Developed from a well proven, 

tried and tested damper,

considerable ingenuity and

manufacturing expertise has been

further applied to produce a robust,

effective, competitive unit that is

easy to install and maintain.

The unit is designed to fit within all

types of ductwork at its juction with

a fire barrier wall, where it can be

fixed directly in or immediately

adjacent to the building structure 

in both the horizontal and vertical

positions.

A choice of 8 different modes of

operation are available providing 

for both a manual and fully

automatic operation.

All units comprise of an air-tight

galvanised casing (DW144 Class 

C Specification) with stainless steel

interlocking blades and frame side

seals, which provides a four-hour

fire rated assembly. Sizes range

from 200 x 200 upto a maximum 

of 1000 x 1000 in one unit.

Dampers over this size are supplied

in multiple units. Intermediary sizes

are available as standard upon

request.
