Note during installation
If EK-JZ is installed with multi-compartment ductwork connected to both sides, this insulation detail
must be applied to both sides of the damper.
The “installation side” is the side of the EK-JZ damper without access to the controls enclosure.
The damper may be installed as shown (controls enclosure at the bottom or top: EK-JZ-*-V with vertical blades
within walls only) or with the controls enclosure on the side (with horizontal blades within walls and ducts).
For clarity on the following instructions, the breadth (width) ‘B’ is the nominal damper size parallel to the blade and
the height ‘H’ is the nominal damper size perpendicular to the blades.
