How to Install Arzel Dampers

Hello and welcome to Arzel Zoning Technologies. Here we are showing how to install our damper system. We’d like to do a nice instructional video for our contractors to follow. That’s going to help everybody in the field have a better understanding of Arzel’s product, but also answer a lot of the common troubleshooting questions that you might run into.

So here we have our basic necessity for installation. We got our snips, hammer, screwdriver, drill, and the Arzel toolkit. Well this isn’t required. It does help to keep the technician’s toolbox lighter. And we can all appreciate that. In our tool kit we have our tubing staples, the tubing staple gun. We have fittings, one inch screws and every tool kit comes with an installation air reservoir to make those jobs where you have a lot of internal dampers or a lot of a lot of our EztFit and our InsertaDampers a little bit neater on the installation process.

But first we’re going to install a few dampers. Let’s put our safety glasses on. Make sure we protect those eyes. These are our two most popular dampers for installing. When the basement’s been drywall and things are inaccessible, our inserted damper slides in through the supply duct, so you would cut access holes that would allow you to get to the take off.

And you’re going to insert this up through the takeoff or around elbow. And it does fit through six inch elbows. Or we have our EzyFit damper that you would install through the register bin. So you would route your tubing through the duct system, connect it up to our damper. Fold it and insert it.

With the InsertaDamper. Same thing. And we have special plenum rated tubing that you can use. It’s you all rated for fire and smoke. Connect it up. Pinch it.

Take it right up through the takeoff. If your hands like mine, it’s a little bit fat. Make it stuck. But it does fit. The springs will hold the damper in place. Tubing sticks out and you can route it through a hole that you just drilled through the duct system.

Grab our reservoir, screw it to the duct, connect it up. That simple? All right, we’ve installed our EzyFit. We’ve installed our Inserta now for our most popular damper, the AzySlide. Every damper comes with a sticker. Slap it to the duct, and we’ll cut that in.

I like the screwdriver. Some people prefer to use a step bent drill in the three corners.

This is what I’m used to.

Have it cut in. Close the damper. Slide it up. Twist it so your nozzle or your air tube connector is facing the ductwork.

Grab some one inch screws and your screwdriver. ZIP it up. I do opposing corners just to kind of square it off. It’s up to you.

Now we got our dampers installed. We can get back to our tubing. I like to start at the furthest location, connect it up.

Then start staple on my way back. Helps to keep things straight. Gives a nice professional appearance for the customer and they’ll be happier.

Snips still work pretty good for it. Get your tube. It’s just rubber so that’s not going to put the hook in your blade.

Pull a little bit extra. Back up to your damper.

And then just work your way down the line. It’s that simple. A lot faster than wires, transformers and all the low voltage that you need. With a conventional damper system. We’ve done our best to make it easy and make this the most popular, easiest to install damper system that you’re going to find on the market. Thank you for sticking with us up to this point.

We finished installing our dampers. We finished installing our tubing. One thing I like to do is leave a service loop at the top of the panel. The reason for the service loop is because eventually somebody is going to have to disconnect this, and they’re not going to have enough tubing to reconnect it. So if you make a service loop, you’ve saved your technician in yourself a lot of aggravation trying to figure out where to get that extra tubing.
