PMT has provided bubble tight dampers to over 15 nuclear utilities. All bubble tight dampers are custom designed and built for the application including transition ductwork, seismic supports and actuators. System requirements are determined during a walkdown of the existing system and a replacement damper system is designed.

PMT's complete turn-key service includes installation at your plant. This includes installation of new hangers. New hangers are almost always required due to the increased weight of the dampers. Hangers are designed and qualified by PMT. Customer needs are evaluated for the best possible design and fit for the application.
