Abstract
A damper assembly is configured for placement within a duct of a ductwork system that supplies conditioned air through a register boot to a register vent. The damper assembly includes a damper that is configured to articulate from a deployment configuration, which facilitates advancement of the damper through the register boot and into the duct, to an operational configuration, in which the damper is positioned within the duct and able to selectively control how much conditioned air being supplied through the duct is permitted to pass by the damper and exit the register vent. The damper assembly includes an elongated deployment member that extends from the damper and is configured to facilitate advancement of the damper through the register boot and into the duct.
