Comments about American Aldes Aldes 6" Backdraft Damper - BDD6:
This 6 inch backdraft damper was used to control condensation from a vent tube going from the kitchen to the outside, as the only device was a flapper on the top of the microwave. The condensation over the years has dripped onto the drywall on the ceiling and wall above the microwave, causing patching to be needed.
