Comments about American Aldes Aldes 6" Backdraft Damper - BDD6: By adding this to our over the stove microwave exhaust duct I have eliminated the condensation issue we were experiencing. With out this damper the condensation would drain down into the microwave and onto the stove by the cup fulls. It sovlved our condensation issue and I would recommend for anyone installing an exhaust duct in a new or existing install.

Comments about American Aldes Aldes 6" Backdraft Damper - BDD6: Ordered 3 and installed in 110cfm bath exhaust ducts. All work fine, louvers opening about 75%. Spring closure is strong enough to not bounce during air pressure changes in the house. Fits welll in duct. Nice sturdy steel sleeve holding damper vanes & good closure seal. Seal around unit, as others have said is poorly applied by factory but is easy to fix. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Was this review helpful?

With 6" you really get about 4.75". Therefore, you must use an 8" for 750CFM fan and connect the 6" pipe to the inside instead of the damper (or use adapter if you can find one). Butterfly valve works good in horizontal or up position positions (but not down). Gasket only rated to 180F but NFPA-96 is 300F. It will work well on most residential ranges/rangetops but may not for the commercial grade ones used in some homes. Although most places don't get below -22F this item should be rated better for cold climates when you can really benefit from a damper. I think it's a very good product relative to the competition. I should go into the duct business... Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Was this review helpful?

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.
