2.2	CEILING RADIATION DAMPERS
A.	Model: CRD-1 series ceiling radiation damper

B.	Ratings:
1.	Fire Resistance: 
********************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes: UL 555C apply to ceiling dampers intended for installation in hourly rated fire resistive floor-ceiling and roof-ceiling assemblies with fire resistance ratings of 3 hours or less. NFPA 90A also requires that all ceiling damper locations be shown on the project plans. ********************************************************************************************
•	Dampers shall have a UL 555C fire resistance rating. 

2.	Fire Closure Temperature: 
Each ceiling radiation damper shall be equipped with a factory installed heat responsive device rated to close the damper when the temperature at the damper reaches:
********************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes: Ceiling dampers qualified under UL 555C are required to be equipped with a heat responsive device to close the damper when temperature at the damper reaches some specific maximum. Heat responsive devices rated to close ceiling dampers at 165F or 212F are available. Specifier, select one of the following options.
********************************************************************************************
•	165F
•	212F

C.	Construction:
1.	Frame: 
********************************************************************************************
Specifier Note: The following requirements for frame construction to meet UL listing R13446. Specifier, select one of the frame options:
********************************************************************************************
Damper frame shall be galvanized steel in gauges required by UL listing R13446 with frame height of:
•	Standard frame: 23/16 in.
•	Bottom Extension: 4¾ in.
•	Top Extension: up to 12¾ in.
•	Top and Bottom Extension: up to 147/8 in.

2.	Blades:
********************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes: The following requirements for blade construction incorporate a set of blades constructed of galvanized steel in gauges required by UL listing R13446. Blades are hinged in the center and held open with a fusible link. Blade insulation is required on sizes larger than 115.46 square inches. 
********************************************************************************************
CRD-1 series shall be galvanized steel with one set of blades. Blade insulation not required on ceiling dampers under 115.46 sq. in.  Blades insulation is provided on ceiling dampers over 115.46 sq in. and should be non-asbestos, UL classified material.

3.	Blade Stops:
********************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes: The following requirement for blade stops construction minimizes blade stop height. Large blade stops reduce damper free area and result in higher pressure loss across the damper. 
********************************************************************************************
Each blade stop (at top and bottom of damper frame) shall occupy no more than ½ in. of the damper opening area to allow for maximum free area and to minimize pressure loss across the damper. 

4.	Fire Closure Device:
********************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes: Fusible link melts when the temperature is reached and closes the damper.
***********************************************************************
•	Dampers shall be supplied with fusible link.

5.	Mounting
•	Horizontal

6.	Finish
•	Galvanized Steel

D.	Accessories:
1.	Volume Controller
