Regulators
One of Rossi’s greatest innovations is eliminating the old style ‘wingnut’ as the locking mechanism used in manual air flow regulators. Wingnut-style regulators (damper handles) have 3 problems. (1) Tiny vibrations in the duct cause the wingnut to come loose over time. (2) This creates rattling sounds in the duct and (3) disrupts the air balance in the building. Metal wingnuts can even rust shut making it impossible to adjust the position of the regulator handle. For these reasons, every Rossi regulator eliminates the wingnut as a locking mechanism. The Everlock & Megalock models use our patented positive-locking mechanism with pre-designed positions which allow you to set it and forget it. Our Twistlock model allows for an infinite range of balancing control with our superior-grip orange knob.

Rossi is and has been over the years the best company I have ever had to deal with and I have been in the sheet metal trade for over 45 years.”

Tom Atkinson, General Manager
Superior Sheet Metal | Hudson, NH
"I am very well pleased with your dampers. Wish I had known about these 30 years ago… I first used the wingnut types since that was all my suppliers offered. Never was too happy with them and you never really knew just what position you had them in because there is so much play in them… It is only recently that I discovered Rossi and use these dampers exclusively now. Thanks for a great product.”
Michael Johnson, Owner

David Trammel, Purchasing
American Heating, Inc. | Portland, OR
“Thank You for making such a great product! I firmly believe that using your dampers exclusively has set us apart from other sheet metal contractors in our area. When air balancing contractors find out we performed the work on a project ahead of them, they know they won't be wasting time looking for damper handles buried under insulation, or struggling to adjust an inferior quality regulator.”
Tim Angelosanto, Vice President
