Ruskin CFD7T User manual

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant and I've analyzed the provided document detailing the installation instructions for the Ruskin CFD7T series ceiling dampers. This document includes information about various models such as CFD7T, CFD7T-IB6, CFD7T-SB, CFD7T-90-BT, CFD7T-END-BT, CFD7T-ST-BT, and CFD7T-R6-DB, all designed for use in wood truss assemblies. The instructions cover how to install these dampers as heat barriers in HVAC systems, and I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about their installation and features.
  • What is the main purpose of the CFD7T series ceiling dampers?
    What are some of the listed UL ceiling designs for the CFD7T?
    What materials are required for the ceiling damper and associated components?

• Support Angle to Damper: minimum of two #8 sheet metal screws, 3/16” (4)
tubular rivets, tack or spot-welds per angle.
• Support Angle to Truss: minimum of #8 x 3/4” long screw or #6 penny nail 1” long
(25).
• Grill/Diffuser frame to damper: minimum of two #8 x 1 1/4” (32) min. screws
through the ceiling material and into the plaster flange or sub-frame.
• Retaining Angle to Plaster Flange or Sub-frame: minimum of #8 x 1 1/4” (32) min.
screws through the ceiling material and into the plaster flange or sub-frame. One
screw per side required on units 10” (254) long and under, and two screws per side
on units above 10” (254) long. Round units maximum of 3 screws required.
• Make sure fasteners do not interfere with the damper operation.

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.
NOTE:
- Dimensions shown in parentheses ( ) indicate millimeters.
