Robertshaw DAOP1218E2 Damper
The Robertshaw DAOP1218E2 Damper is a professional-grade 12"w x 18"h opposed blade damper engineered for high-performance airflow management in residential and light commercial HVAC zoning systems. This power-close, spring-return unit features a 24V 2-wire configuration, allowing for seamless integration with standard zone control panels and thermostats. The opposed blade design ensures precise air volume control by reducing turbulence and providing a more linear flow compared to parallel blade alternatives. Built with heavy-duty materials to withstand constant cycling, the DAOP1218E2 motorized damper is a reliable solution for remediating hot and cold spots in complex ductwork layouts. As an experienced contractor, you will appreciate the compact actuator profile which facilitates installation in tight plenum spaces where clearance is limited. This rectangular HVAC damper is designed for longevity in high-static pressure environments, maintaining airtight seals to prevent energy loss in unoccupied zones.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Optimized Airflow Control: The opposed blade mechanism provides superior air balancing and reduced noise levels during operation.
- Universal Compatibility: Standard 24V AC 2-wire operation fits most existing HVAC control systems without complex rewiring.
- Durable Infrastructure: Rugged construction designed for the high-duty cycles of modern multi-zone HVAC systems.
- Installation Efficiency: Sized precisely at 12x18 inches for standard rectangular ducting, reducing the need for field modifications.
- Energy Efficiency: Helps achieve significant utility savings by strictly regulating airflow distribution.
Is the Robertshaw DAOP1218E2 normally open or normally closed?
This model typically functions as a power-close, spring-return unit, meaning it remains open to allow airflow unless the 24V signal is applied to close the blades.
Can I use this damper with a 3-wire zone panel?
This is a 2-wire damper. While it can often be integrated into 3-wire systems using a relay or specific panel terminals, ensure you verify the wiring diagram of your specific control board to maintain proper operation.
What causes a motorized damper to make clicking noises?
Clicking or grinding usually indicates a failing actuator gear or a mechanical obstruction within the blades. Replacing the unit prevents secondary strain on the blower motor and improves system static pressure.
