Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 6" Backdraft Damper
Customer Review: Worse than worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a completely unworkable piece of junk. It was so poorly built that the damper would stick closed and require manual force to open it. Once opened, the tiny little spring was too weak to close it. If installed in a forced air duct system, it would be worthless at best, and at worst could cause a fan motor to overload and burn out.
I contacted the supplier by e-mail to demand a refund and received a response saying to send the item back. I sent it back to the return address on the box in which it was shipped, which was the factory in Florida. A few days later, I received a call from the factory telling me that they knew nothing about the transaction and that I should have shipped it back to the seller (a third party operating through Amazon).
Fortunately, I eventually did receive credit for the item, but not for my expense of returning it.
Description of 6" Backdraft Damper
Backdraft Dampers allow air to travel in one direction but not the other. Also, when your fan shuts off, the backdraft damper closes to keep cool air and CO2 in while keeping insects, fungi and dust out. The springs on these devices are designed to minimize any reduction in flow. They seal against a rubber gasket to minimize air leakage.Kitchen and Housewares
