Great info, does the damper require a particular height during the install that makes it more affective? I've been looking for videos on how far up the pipe the damper is best situated, and I cannot find any information about it.
Can you tell me if this would stop smoke being blown into a neighbouring house? My Neighbours have a summer house in there garden 4 metres from our home, were a bit lower down and their flue is level with the bedroom window. Our house fills with the smell of smoke like it’s coming in lol very window and we’re suffering ill health from it we’ve spoke to the neighbours and they have agreed to make the flue higher. (No idea if that will actually help) but would of of these help a bit more?
This is an easy fix, he didn’t have to replace the vent. Simply find out whether it was fully opening when necessary and if not, he would adjust the flexible parts. To avid the noise he could just install a new gasket on the flapper’s parameter and problem solve. Probably one minute or less on that ladder.
I also bought and installed the same one Dave is Holden up 2 months ago at most. At first I was pumped up, until today when I guess the conditions where and are currently right. The flap is right now flapping away. The slight popping and banging noise is driving me to drink on a Friday afternoon. I guess an Email to Dave the owner of Luxury Metals is due I suppose,we have to see how he responds to such problem. Can’t say 100% that I’m a satisfied customer tht I once was. I initially thought this product was awesome. If only I could have seen this video,read all comments on this thread before purchasing it. The guy at the top of comments is the owner of this small company. He seems very helpful in all othe Emails so I plan on giving him a chance to explain. Who knows it could be me or the houses pressurization making this happen. Leading to a conclusion of not the product that failed but the installer/ME tht installed it wrong.
@@reddye2331it’s fine. It’s just a common thing in all vents that’s hard to solve. They all make a flap sound in the wind. Best bet is to add a bumper on the bottom to soften the impact of the little flap slamming.
i had one of these installed last year. the draft they maintain is amazing. however, mine has this awful squeak as it rotates to one side. it is SO loud and annoying. i have read to lube it, but i was wondering if anyone out there has tried this fix or had this problem before. please help.
Exactly what him said. Any type of lube/oil will work for a while until the heat dissipates it. Then back to same problem. Sadly graphite is ur only option. As far as I know of. Thick as heavy axle packing grease would work right but I would think it would be way to big of a risk of catching fire in a chimney exhaust.

Holding the new one up beside old one doesn't prove it's better because it's not vented, it is the depressurization that makes it flap using air from inside your house, i hope it works out for you
Most useless video I have seen yet....... Why not wait until you were ready to post the installation video before uploading a video with this title......fucking clickbait
I bought the same one but 8" stainless steel installed at the houses in coastal area, it still make a very bad banging noise. May be the wind gard is not big enough to stop fron lifting up and down? I was thinking to make a hole on the top of the hood to relieve the air pressure so it won't lift it. Anyone has any suggestions?
The problem you are having is most likely due to pressure differential between the outside and the inside of the house. I have that problem with my home. A strong wind blows across the house creating low pressure on the outside and it sucks air out of the home. This pushes the damper open and slams it shut when the pressure differential reverses. It took me a few years to figure that out. I have yet to develop a solution. I wonder if a tighter house would have less of an issue.
@@drooplug a tighter house causes more of a pressure differential. That pressure will want to equalize even more by rushing into the vents. It takes the path of least resistance like electricity.
*>>>**allmy.tips/Broan-Hood?a53** Super thrilled to have found the exact model/size to replace this hideous Almond that was (already) in bad shape 15 years ago when I bought this house and was atrocious as it discolored, peeled and aged. Excited that BROAN still produces the same unit (and Amazon carries it!) and in much cooler colors than the good ole builder's grade almond.*
