Backdraft reducer
The Heat Fab backdraft reducer (9301BFP) is the pre-
ferred option for limiting backdraft (see Fig. 20).
Note: The following solution is available only for
3" diameter venting.
Fig. 20 Part nr 9301BFP
Installation
For this solution to be effective, the internal flapper must
be 100% closed when the water heater is not running.
Refer to Figures 22 and 23 for preferred installation
positions in the vent system.
Installation considerations:
• Install damper per the supplied manufacturer‘s
instructions.
• The damper is only to be used in the exhaust vent
piping.
• Ensure directional arrow on damper label faces in the
same direction as exhaust flow.
• If installed horizontally, the axis must be horizontal or
slightly pitched up towards termination to ensure
damper closes 100% when heater is not running.
• To allow accessibility, damper must not be installed
in an enclosed section of vent pipe.
• Do not install damper in unconditioned spaces (e.g.
attics) Condensation can build up while the heater is
running which can later freeze and potentially block
the flapper.
