Specifications

True Round Smoke Dampers meeting the following specifications 
shall be furnished and installed where shown on plans and/or as 
described in schedules. Dampers shall meet the requirements of the 
latest edition of NFPA 92A, 92B, 101 & 105.

Dampers shall be tested, rated and labeled in accordance with the 
latest edition of UL Standards 555S. Dampers shall be UL labeled for 
use in dynamic systems. The damper shall have a dynamic closure 
airflow rating equal to or greater than the airflow at the damper’s 
installed location and a dynamic closure pressure rating of 4 in. wg 
(1 kPa).

Dampers shall have a UL 555S leakage rating of Class I and a 
temperature rating of 250º F (121ºC) minimum. Dampers shall have a 
UL555S operational airflow rating equal to or greater than the airflow 
at its installed location and an operational pressure rating of 4 in. wg 
(1 kPa). Damper actuators shall be factory mounted and qualified for 
use with the damper in accordance with UL555S.

Damper actuators shall be (specified select one of the following) 
electric type for 120 (or 24) volt operation or pneumatic type for 25 
psi minimum (30 psi maximum) operation. Manufacturer’s submittal 
data shall indicate actuator space requirements around the damper. 

All UL555S operational ratings and leakage ratings shall be qualified 
for airflow and pressure in either direction through the damper. UL 
ratings shall allow for mounting damper vertically or horizontally.

The Damper Manufacturer’s submittal data shall certify all air 
performance pressure drop data is licensed in accordance with the 
AMCA certified ratings program for test figures 5.2, 5.3, and 5.5. 
Damper air performance data shall be developed in accordance 
with the latest edition of AMCA Standard 500-D. 

Basis of design is Greenheck’s model SSSMDR-501.
