Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Butterfly Backdraft Damper, Michael!
I ordered two. One of the two units has bent backdraft flaps – new in box, clearly happened before shipping.
Great service, will buy from again!
The hinges are essentially tape, which is NOT shown in the illustration.
Mine arrived with one of the tape hinges broken, and there is no way to easily repair it without special tape and the ability to separate the vertical supports.
