Damper Handle Label And Position
Damper handles and labels need to make sense to the balancer and future service crew after the ceiling closes.
What This Helps With
Damper handles and labels need to make sense to the balancer and future service crew after the ceiling closes.
Apprentice words: damper handle label, balancing mark, quadrant position, blade position, TAB damper
Common problem: Handle is hidden, blade position is unclear, or the balancing mark gets wiped off.
Check First
What Not To Do
Do not move a balanced damper without direction. Do not cover a handle. Do not assume handle direction always equals blade direction without checking.
What can go wrong: Handle is hidden, blade position is unclear, or the balancing mark gets wiped off.
Better Foreman Question
Do you want this damper handle labeled/marked before ceiling close, and is the current blade position locked for TAB?
Verify With
Source to verify: TAB direction, project closeout requirements, foreman direction
Safe wording: Final damper settings belong to TAB/commissioning, not guessing.
