BROAN-NuTone RDM2 Radiation Damper
For contractors prioritizing life safety and code compliance in multi-family dwellings, the BROAN-NuTone RDM2 Radiation Damper is an essential component for your ventilation system installations. This unit is specifically engineered to prevent the rapid spread of radiant heat through ceiling penetrations in fire-rated floor-ceiling and roof-ceiling assemblies. When temperatures reach 165°F, the integrated fusible link activates, deploying a high-temperature, non-asbestos, reinforced fiber thermal fabric. This creates a robust flame and heat barrier, effectively interrupting airflow and maintaining the fire resistance integrity of the ceiling membrane. The RDM2 is UL 555C Certified and meets or exceeds NFPA-90A Compliant HVAC standards, ensuring your projects adhere to stringent fire safety regulations. Its galvanized steel frame and stainless steel closure springs provide durable, reliable performance. Furthermore, the design incorporates a separate outer frame, allowing for complete fan and damper serviceability without disturbing the surrounding ceiling material, a significant advantage for maintenance and future upgrades. This fire-rated exhaust fan protection is compatible with a wide range of Broan and NuTone ventilation fans, including ENERGY STAR qualified models, making it a versatile solution for various applications requiring a robust ceiling radiation damper.
- Enhanced Fire Safety: Limits radiant heat transfer through ceiling penetrations, crucial for multi-family construction.
- Code Compliance: UL Classified (UL-555C) and meets NFPA-90A standards for peace of mind.
- Durable Construction: Features a galvanized steel frame and stainless steel closure springs for long-term reliability.
- Simplified Maintenance: Separate outer frame design allows for easy fan and damper servicing without ceiling disruption.
- Broad Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with numerous Broan and NuTone ventilation fans and ENERGY STAR qualified fan/lights.
Common Questions
- What is the primary function of a ceiling radiation damper like the RDM2? The RDM2 is designed to limit the transfer of radiant heat through an air inlet/outlet opening in a fire-resistance-rated floor or roof/ceiling assembly, preventing fire spread into concealed spaces.
- How does the Broan-NuTone RDM2 activate during a fire event? The damper features a 165°F fusible link that melts when exposed to excessive heat, triggering the thermal fabric to close and form a protective barrier.
- Is the RDM2 compatible with standard ventilation fans? Yes, the RDM2 is engineered for use with a wide array of Broan and NuTone ventilation fan models, including those that are ENERGY STAR qualified.
