AC Infinity 150mm Backdraft Damper, One-Way Airflow Ducting Insert

AC Infinity stuff is always great, this is no exception. I’ve got two of these hooked up in the attic so I can run two exhaust fans to one outlook. They lit the air flow freely, but only in the direction I want. Allows me to pass code! Nice product, easy install and since it’s in the attic no perceived noise inside (I don’t know if it’s load next to it). Good value!

I needed some sort of back draft prevention for my bathroom vent fan setup because I was getting bugs and draft in my basement bathroom. These fit right up to other 4 inch ducting, and I used rubber connectors to secure these on. They look sleek, work great, and they have a great quality seal and don't let air back in. They have a double flap to prevent back drafting. I used two of them in my set up to keep each line isolated before a combining y connection

The AC Infinity products I’ve been getting all seen to be superior quality pieces (fan, collars, dampers). Couldn’t be happier. Shutters open easily but close solidly when there’s no air flow. Thank you a great product at a fair price!

Kind of difficult tp install with the AC infintiy 6" flex tubing. I wanted to put it online with my exhaust tube and boy was it not easy. I assume that most people want the dampner to keep cold air from coming from the outside to inside their tents? So why was it such a struggle to get the exhaust tubing even partly started onto it. Idk maybe I installed it at the wrong place. It does do a very good job at keeping cold air out. Almost too good now my tent went up about 12 degrees since I installed it.🤷

works well well constructed

I needed to create an exhaust system for my 3D printer so I purchased the AC Infinity cloud line in-line fan along with this backdraft damper since my exhaust leads directly outdoors. One thing I noticed is that the springs on this damper are pretty stiff so it requires a decent amount of airflow to push the damper flaps open. Using the cloud line S4's speed controller as a reference, the flaps didn't open until I got to level 4. The reason this may be an issue is because in temperature controlled environments (like printing certain types of material) you don't want your in-line fan to be too strong otherwise it will cool your chamber too quickly. Aside from that, the damper is constructed well and will likely last a long time. One other thing to note, I bought the 4" damper and with 4" ducting it is a very tight fit to get the ducting around so it does create a decent enough seal. Overall works well but if you only require a low airflow system like me I would recommend testing this out first before fully installing.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would. This is my FOURTH go around at trying to solve a backdraft problem with my kitchen vent hood. This one finally did the trick. Amazing how many bad options there are out there for a backdraft damper, never would have guessed it. The problem is that most other backdraft preventer work by closing the flap using gravity alone, and it turns out that once installed, that's not always enough - kind of random. But you can tell right away when you step in the kitchen if the flap is open or not by whether youre freezing or comfortable: Walk to the hood; put your hand under and feel for the draft; get your answer - you'll always guess it right. With this one, it's always closed and the room is always comfortable. Thank you thank you thank you!! It's also very well made (sturdy, compared to all the others) and _not_ more expensive! It's also quieter than the others. Go figure. My only complaint: it only comes in 6" or 8" dia. WTF!! A vent hood has standard 7" ductwork. I got around this by buying and installing 2 flares, one on either sides. It mates nicely with the 7", but you need to have a bit of room in the cabinet above the hood: can't have a 90deg turn too close to the hood. You won't be able to cut through the metal work to reshape it easily, unless other thin-gage dampers, which I spent hours re-shaping. Works like a charm when installed right.

After reading through dozens of reviews and product information, we first bought the AC Infinity Flexible 6-Inch Aluminum Ducting, Heavy-Duty Four-Layer Protection, 8-Feet Long for Heating Cooling Ventilation and Exhaust. It was packaged so well you could send it as a Christmas gift, the quality of the duct tubing was outstanding. Fast forward a week while we were installing the new stove exhaust fan, we realized we would need this flapper piece, as the old one was getting stuck. We were so impressed with the duct tubing that we purchased this product from AC as well, and were not disappointed. It is the Mercedes of exhaust flappers. This AC flapper was the exact size advertised at 5.79" width/diameter, which was just a smidgen smaller than most of the others advertised at 5.90" diameter. So instead of having to monkey around with it, it slipped perfectly inside the Vikio range hood 30" under cabinet kitchen hood with 980 CFM, 3 speed gesture sensing & touch control panel in stainless steel, vent hole on top the hood. A little larger it would not have worked, we are grateful the AC specs are perfect, it made the install a dream come true. I do agree with another review I read, in that the AC 6" ducting is a tight fit on their own product/flapper, although I got it to slip on, it was as tight as could be without being unworkable, but the bottom line is it went on. And it slipped over the existing 6" coupling tube to the roof perfectly. We will keep this company in mind when doing other projects, such as heating, vents, dryer etc, well worth the cost. Thank you

Very solid unit. Walls are easily 2-3x thicker than the cheap ebay one I had before. Great design and quality.

Das größte Außenmaß ist 206mm nicht 200mm. Die Klappen schlagen hart an und sind ungedämpft. Schöne Optik, aber mehr sicher nicht

This company puts out "quality" items Something we dont see to often anymore. This item works great when exhaust fan turns on and closes nicely when fan is off. I like the rubber gasket Keeps cold air from coming back into house BigBox stores carry similar item BUT not as well made and more money Highly recommend

This is not the first AC Infinity product I've bought. I already had an AC Infinity humidity sensing fan with a quality level that impressed me, so I decided this was the best brand when I needed a back draft baffle for my 8 inch kitchen fan exhaust. Similar build quality. You'd think this was a turbine engine part.

Unfortunately didn't use this as the fan they sent was the wrong one and now they haven't got the one i want in stock so returned everything and got the 16 inch airlift fan instead but it was a very nice looking piece of kit and i would of been very happy to have used this.
