Rectangular Dampers
Many ask us if Rossi Hardware can be used with rectangular dampers. Yes, Rossi regulators, bushings and bars are compatible with any size rectangular blades. The combination we recommend for the duct shop interested in building rectangular dampers is (1) Megalock regulator (for 1/2 inch round or square shaft) (2) 1/2 inch snap-in bushings (3)1/2 inch inch u-channels to affix your rectangular blade to the square shaft. Please note that we don’t provide rectangular blades themselves as they are far too varied in sizes to be standardized.
Megalock regulator (1/2 inch shaft – round or square)
Snap-In bushings (1/2 inch)
U-channels (1/2 inch)

“I think it is safe to say that I am probably one of the oldest customers of Rossi and not one time have I ever had an issue with their Customer service or the quality of their product. The first time I saw their Rossi Dampers I knew we needed to start using them in our shop and we have saved many hours of fabrication time because they are so easy to install. 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.”
John Welch, Sheet Metal Shop Superintendent

"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

Bobby Smith, Production Manager

“Spinfinity uses Rossi products exclusively on our bellmouth and conical dampers, and the guys in the shop love how easy they are to install. Our customers like the Rossi Hardware for its ease of use in the field and its durability. Thanks for making such great products!”
Mike Mondalek, Outside Sales
Spinfinity | Algona, WA
“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
Eastern Vent Systems, Inc. | Pelham, NH
"From the moment I received the samples, I noticed the build quality and strength of the Rossi dampers far exceeded the traditional wing-nut and floppy dampers of old. Rossi is our pick when it comes to choosing the ultimate damper that will not disappoint, all at a competitive price.”
