I need a back draft damper for my vent hood.** A: Not unless it is facing upward would you want to do that. While it has some springs on the flaps, I would doubt the spring's long term reliability in closing. In my installation, I have a 6" duct from the fan hood to an adapter into the 8" Damper / Duct - out of the weather. And in Florida essential to keeping out qpp degree humidity. Works as advertised and works quite. Best one I've found **Q: I have only 3" of accessible 8" pipe to place the damper; will this be enough space for the fan to open completely?** A: Yes, you should be OK With 3”. The flaps open outwards (into the 2.8” depth of the unit). **Q: how tall is the damper** A: I installed it awhile ago but it is an 8" O.D. damper. It has a nice soft rubber seal around the outside and should fit perfect in an 8" exhaust pipe. **Q: I need to buy this 8 inch and a 6 inch but I can't figure out how to order the 6 inch there's not an option t input a choice help please** A: We are currently out of stock of the 6" ones. Please check back in a couple of days. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/33875533-aldes-8-inch-round-spring-loaded-backdraft-damper-professional-grade](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/33875533-aldes-8-inch-round-spring-loaded-backdraft-damper-professional-grade) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
