Continental offers a number of aluminum diffusers for sidewall and ceiling applications. Recently, a portion of the product line underwent some re-engineering for both aesthetic and functional purposes.
Models Affected
The following models have been improved:
- Series A22—Lanced face; 2–way deflection; multi-shutter damper
- Series A23—Lanced face; 3–way deflection; multi-shutter damper
- Series A24—Lanced face; 4–way deflection; multi-shutter damper
- Series AC1H—Curved Blade; 1–way deflection; multi-shutter damper
- Series AC2H—Curved Blade; 2–way deflection; multi-shutter damper
- Series AC3—Curved Blade; 3–way deflection; multi-shutter damper
- Series AC4—Curved Blade; 4–way deflection; multi-shutter damper
- Series AC44—Curved Blade; 4–way deflection; multi-shutter damper
Improvements
Improvements consists of a new rivet-free face and new 1” damper blades. Previous models riveted the damper box to the diffuser face. Spot welding now creates a cleaner look. Previous models used 2” damper blades. New 1” blades extend less obtrusively into shallow duct applications.
The riveted damper box (top) has been replaced by new spot welding procedures (bottom). |
Installed depth of previous models (top), with blades extended, was 2.25 inches. The new (bottom) installed depth is only 1.625 inches.
