Broan® Universal Make-Up Air Dampers

Broan’s Universal Make-Up Air Dampers can be installed without a direct wired connection. The air flow sensor assembly installs directly to the range hood; and the damper assembly may be inserted into a 6” or 8” duct running from an exterior wall to the cold air return of a forced-air system. If there is no forced air return, the make-up air duct can be run to a wall or ceiling register in a location that minimizes concerns about drafts and maintains a five-foot separation from the cooking appliance or hood. The sealed motorized damper assembly and air flow sensor equalize air intake and exhaust, establishing the ideal balance in air pressure levels for proper ventilation and increased energy savings.
