Planning the Installation

Backdraft Damper
We recommend that a backdraft damper be used in all Vent Hood installations. Cold
weather installations necessitate the use of a backdraft damper to minimize the flow of
cold air into the room. A non-metallic thermal break should also be installed to mini-
mize conduction of outside temperatures through the ductwork. Locate the thermal
break as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the
house.
