Application
Gravity exhaust dampers allow exhaust air to be discharged from the system when an economizer and/or power exhaust is operating. Gravity exhaust dampers also prevent outdoor air infiltration during unit off cycle.
LAGEDH dampers are used in horizontal air discharge applications and are installed in the return air plenum. See TABLE 1.
Gravity exhaust dampers must be used any time a power exhaust damper is installed. A gravity exhaust damper is required in the system when an economizer is installed unless other provisions are made to exhaust indoor air.

Install GED - Horizontal
- Cut one opening in return air plenum on A, A+, and B box units and two openings in return air plenum on C & D box units. See FIGURE 1 for dimensions. Make sure opening is centered top to bottom in plenum. On C & D box units, gravity exhaust dampers may be installed either on opposing sides of plenum or adjacent to each other. If adjacent, allow a minimum of 4" (102mm) between the two openings.
- Secure hood sides to hood top as shown in FIGURE 1.
- Apply foam insulating tape around the back of the flanged edges of the LAGEDH assembly.
- Align screw holes on top edges of hood and damper assembly.
- Slide combined LAGEDH assembly into plenum opening and secure using screws provided. See FIGURE 1.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or equivalent, service agency, or the gas supplier.
