4″ Butterfly damper perfect for “supply air”
We use these when sealing a crawlspace or attic. As an insulation contractor, we use spray foam to encapsulate & insulate these areas for homeowners. The 4″ damper is inserted into an HVAC supply plenum, so that the HVAC conditions the area, and aids in the control of high RH.

Excellent quality and service
FAMCO has excellent customer service and their product is always exactly as stated. Our company has ordered several of the 6″ dampers and they work perfectly.

Butterfly Backdraft Damper
This is a very good product. It is made to specifics and is exactly as stated.
We are doing a fairly large industrial project and have purchased several of these this year. We have had no problem with this product.

I received the wrong size when it was first shipped to me. The packing slip said it was the size I ordered but what came in the box was the wrong size. I called and they sent the correct size by overnight freight.

Very impressed with the damper. Installed it between sections of the vent piping for a new range hood. Seems well designed, does an excellent job preventing back drafts, and creates little if any additional noise when the range hood fan is running.
