Description

This is the Kikerike Backdraft Damper. First and foremost, if quality is your thing, listen up! This damper? It’s made of Galvanized steel. And those flap leaves? They’re made of sleek aluminum. But wait, there’s more – the Axis and spring? Shiny stainless steel. So, durability? Checked!

Now, where can you slap this bad boy on? Well, my friend, the world (or your house) is your oyster. Use it in your AC, dryer vent, exhaust, and even those fancy extractors or range hoods. Do you have fans, vents, or any other residential, commercial, or industrial HVAC applications? This damper’s got you covered.

Size does matter though, so heads up! Before you dive in and buy, make sure you’ve got your measurements right. And yeah, there might be slight differences in size or color depending on your screen, so keep that in mind. Always double-check those specs, alright.

Oh, and here’s a hot tip for installation: Push this damper into your ventilation pipe until it can’t go any further. Make sure the spring’s position is horizontal when the flap is installed that way. The same rule applies to vertical setups. It’s all about that optimal open and close action. Function-wise, this thing’s top-notch. It sits over the TD lip and is all about improving ventilation. How? By making sure air doesn’t play boomerang when your fans are off. Last but not least, you can pop these dampers into flexible or non-flexible ventilation ducts. But, and this is a big but, steer clear of plastic ducts. They play hard to get with sizes.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

This website is all about range hoods and kitchen ventilation. Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions to help improve your skills and stay safe.

A range hood, also known as a kitchen hood or exhaust hood, is a device installed above a stove or cooktop to remove smoke, heat, steam, and airborne grease and particles from the air. The range hood contains a fan and filter system that sucks up the contaminants and vents them outside the home, or recirculates the air through a filter to remove the impurities before releasing it back into the kitchen.

A range hood is an essential appliance for any kitchen because it helps improve indoor air quality by removing pollutants and odors, prevents moisture buildup and mold growth, and reduces the risk of fire and smoke damage. It also helps to keep the kitchen clean by preventing grease buildup on surfaces and cabinets.

To choose the right size range hood for your stove, you should measure the width of your cooktop and choose a hood that is at least as wide as the cooktop, or slightly wider. The recommended airflow rate for a range hood is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), and it should be able to exchange the air in the kitchen at least 15 times per hour.

The height of the hood should also be considered to ensure it is at the appropriate distance from the cooktop to effectively capture smoke and grease. It is recommended to consult a professional or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure proper installation and sizing of the range hood.
