Rick
I believe the IRC uses the term "damper" which is singular.

Of course, though ...

R201.2 Interchangeability.
Words used in the present tense include the future; words in the masculine gender include the feminine and neuter; the singular number includes the plural and the plural, the singular.

I would think (which is frequently dangerous) ... that 'more than one damper' typically equates to 'smoke filled house'.
