Topics:

• Is there a damper included inside all Wolf transitions?
• Are dampers built into all transitions?
• Are multiple backdraft dampers needed in certain applications?
• Do accessory transitions include a backdraft damper?
• The damper or transition is missing

Answer:

All transitions provided with Wolf hoods come with a backdraft damper built into the transition.

• Downdraft systems do not have a backdraft damper.
• Cold-weather installations may require an additional backdraft damper to minimize backward flow of cold air.
• It should be placed as close to the roof or wall cap as possible.
• All Wolf Ventilation hoods, except Low Profile Wall Hoods, come with a backdraft damper connected to the transition.
• Any Wolf transition sold separately as a sales accessory transition does not have a backdraft damper built in or included.
• A separate damper should be installed to keep out the outside air and anything else that gets into the ductwork.
• Wolf does not offer backdraft dampers separately from those included with transitions.
• For further ventilation information, refer to the Wolf Ventilation Guide. Refer to the product Installation Guide.
