SMD-401M
Smoke Dampers
Extruded Airfoil Blades
UL 555S Leakage Class I
APPLICATION
Model SMD-401M is a class I leakage rated modulating smoke
damper. The model SMD-401M serves the function of
both a control damper and smoke damper. High strength airfoil
blades ensure the lowest resistance to airflow in HVAC systems
with velocities to 2000 fpm (10.2 m/s ) and 4 wg (1 kPa). Model
SMD-401M may be installed vertically (with blades running
horizontal) or horizontally and is rated for airflow and leakage in
either direction.
Model SMD-401M meets the requirements for smoke
dampers established by:
National Fire Protection Association

Application Data
Damper Sideplate and Sleeve Dimensional Data
The drawings below illustrate the factory standard sideplate and sleeve mountings for the SMD-401M. The standard "A"
dimensions listed in the table provide adequate space for the mounting of actuators and controls.
If space constraints are a problem the "A" dimension can be varied between 5 3⁄8 in. (136mm) and 12 in. (305mm).

Space Envelopes Required for

Actuators and Accessories
Externally mounted actuators always require space
outside of the damper sideplate or sleeve. The “S”
dimension illustrates the clearance required for various
available actuators.
On dampers less than 18 in. (457mm) high, actuators
may also require clearances above and/or below the
sideplate or sleeve. “B” and “T” dimensions are worst
case clearance requirements for some dampers less
than 18 in. (457mm) high. All damper sizes under 18
in. (457mm) high do not require these worst case
clearances. If space availability above or below the
damper sleeve is limited, each damper size should be
individually evaluated.

Transitioned Damper Dimensions
When a fire/smoke damper is being used in conjunction with round or oval ductwork, the SMD-401M can be supplied in a
factory sleeve with round or oval transitions on both ends of the sleeve. Dampers should be ordered to the duct dimensions.

each blade. Damper frame shall be galvanized steel formed
into a structural hat channel shape with reinforced corners.
Bearings shall be sintered bronze sleeve type rotating in
extruded holes in the damper frame. Blade edge seals
shall be silicone rubber designed to inflate and provide a
tighter seal against leakage as pressure on either side of
the damper increases. Jamb seals shall be stainless steel
compression type. Damper must be rated for mounting
vertically (with blades running horizontal) or horizontally and
be UL 555S rated for leakage and airflow in either direction
through the damper.
Each damper/actuator combination shall have a UL555S
elevated temperature rating of 250°F (121ºC) minimum and
shall be rated to operate at maximum design airflow at its
installed location. Each damper shall be supplied with an
appropriate actuator installed by the damper manufacturer
at the time of damper fabrication. Damper actuator shall be
(specifier select one of the following) electric type for 24 volt
operation.
The basis of design is Greenheck Model SMD-401M.
