Application
• Threaded shaft for easy mounting of accessory items
See Table 1
Typical applications are for control of fire/smoke leakage rated (*) dampers or air
valves. Other applications include unit ventilators, unit conditioners, air handlers, and
other HVAC applications.
* Must be certified by recognized agency.
Certain actuators in Table 1 are UL Recognized Components under UL’s
Damper Actuator category (EMKU2). This category covers pneumatic
damper actuators intended to be employed on fire dampers and
fire/smoke leakage rated dampers.
