Description
TEC Minneapolis Model 5 Blower Door™ System with Battery and DG-1000 Gauge
Faster, Simpler Building Airtightness Testing
The Minneapolis Blower Door™ has long been recognized as an industry-leading building airtightness testing system, and the new Model 5 Digital Minneapolis Blower Door raises the standard even further. Now cordless, wireless, and tubeless, the Model 5 lets you test faster and with less setup - no cables to run, no tubing to manage. It's also significantly lighter than previous models, making it easier to carry and maneuver on the job. A new smart field check feature helps ensure your fan is reading accurately before you even start the test, giving you added confidence in your results. The Model 5 Digital Minneapolis Blower Door is the system of choice for utility DSM programs, energy raters, HVAC contractors and weatherization professionals.
