Extruded BACKDRAFT DAMPER
EM-30 SERIES
Vertical Mount - Horizontal Airflow
Application and Design
The EM-30 series is a vertical mounted backdraft damper that is designed to
allow horizontal airflow and prevent reverse airflow. The damper is opened by
air pressure differential and closed by gravity.

Minimum Size (without weights): 8 in. W x 8 in. H
(203mm x 203mm)
Minimum Size (with weights): 8 in. W x 11 in. H
(203mm x 279mm)
Maximum Size: 48 in. W x 74 in. H

Airflow
Sizes larger than maximum shown will be supplied as two or
more equal size smaller dampers required to make up the size
specified. These larger multiple damper assemblies require
field assembly and may require additional reinforcement (not
supplied by Greenheck) to support the assembly.
