APPLICATION

Model SMD-401M is a class I leakage rated modulating smoke 

damper. The model SMD-401M serves the function of 

both a control damper and smoke damper. High strength airfoil 

blades ensure the lowest resistance to airflow in HVAC systems 

with velocities to 2000 fpm (10.2 m/s ) and 4 wg (1 kPa). Model 

SMD-401M may be installed vertically (with blades running 

horizontal) or horizontally and is rated for airflow and leakage in 

either direction.
