Fire and smoke damper installation
This card shows the energy in this activity and what to verify before starting. It's a reference, not a step-by-step procedure. The checklist below stays on this screen; nothing is saved or sent.
Installing dampers in duct penetrations combines overhead work, spring-loaded mechanisms and drilling and cutting at the slab or wall line.
High-energy check
Dampers and tools handled overhead can exceed injury thresholds. A released damper spring snaps closed with enough force to break fingers.
Trigger checks
-
Mechanical
Moving parts, tools, tension, rotation or stored mechanical force.
-
Sound
Harmful noise or impulse sound.
Direct controls to verify
Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.
For your SPA or pre-start
State the fixing height and access, how the damper spring is restrained during fitting and how hands are kept out of the blade path.
