Greenheck ES-10 Series User manual

Application and Design
The ES-10 series is a horizontally mounted backdraft damper
that is designed to allow vertical airflow up and prevent
reverse airflow. The damper is opened by air pressure
differential and closed by gravity. Standard models include
adjustable internal counterbalance to assist opening.
