A 3V blade is a reinforced, roll-formed steel blade design for fire dampers, featuring three longitudinal “V”-shaped grooves that boost rigidity, minimize deflection, and enhance sealing when closed. It is widely used in UL-listed fire/smoke dampers for reliable fire containment and airflow control.
Key Details
Structure: Typically 16-gauge (≈1.5mm) galvanized or stainless steel, with three integral V - shaped ribs for structural reinforcement, preventing warping under high temperatures or airflow pressure.
Function: When the damper closes (triggered by a fusible link), the 3V profile ensures tight blade - to - blade and blade - to - frame contact, reducing smoke/fire leakage and meeting UL 555 (fire) and UL 555S (smoke) leakage classes (often Class I/II).
Performance: Suitable for dynamic (fan - on) and static (fan - off) applications, handling air velocities up to 2000–4000 fpm and pressures up to 4–10 in.w.g., with fire ratings of 1.5–3 hours.
Design Benefits: The V - ribs improve strength without adding excessive weight, enabling efficient manufacturing and consistent performance across rectangular/square duct installations.
