Ruskin CFD7T is a ceiling damper designed to function as a heat barrier in HVAC openings penetrating ceilings constructed from wood trusses. It has been UL tested to provide protection in various ceiling designs without the added requirement for insulated boots, boxes, or plenums. The damper can be used with or without a plenum box and supports various duct types, including flex duct, steel duct, and ductboard. Installation is versatile, with options for support angles or a 2" x 4" wood stud.

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.
The ceiling damper and associated components (air devices, duct, duct drop, etc.)
must be constructed of steel. The grille/diffuser frame shall be minimum of 26
gauge (0.55) steel. Nonferrous air devices or through ceiling membrane penetration
a steel plaster flange is required. 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 minimum 18 gauge steel wire. Fiberglass ductboard 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 illustrate 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 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.
