Square Multi-Blade Backdraft Damper

Multi-blade gravity backdraft damper is a passive non-return ventilation damper designed for square and rectangular HVAC duct systems. Operating without electricity or manual control, this automatic backdraft damper prevents reverse airflow and protects ventilation equipment from external wind pressure and dust backflow. Built with durable metal materials including galvanized steel, aluminum and stainless steel, it features low airflow resistance, stable opening & closing performance and zero daily maintenance. Widely applicable for exhaust systems, air handling units, wall ventilation openings and fan discharge outlets in commercial, residential and industrial ventilation projects.

Product Description

The Square Multi-Blade Backdraft Damper is designed to prevent reverse airflow in HVAC and ventilation duct systems. It features multiple lightweight blades that open automatically when air moves in the intended direction and close by gravity when airflow stops or reverses. This design helps protect the ventilation system from unwanted backflow, outside air intrusion, dust entry, and pressure loss.

Compared with single-blade models, the multi-blade structure provides more stable operation and is especially suitable for rectangular duct openings and larger air passages. It is widely used in commercial, industrial, and residential ventilation systems for exhaust air control and non-return protection.

Manufactured from galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel as required, the damper offers reliable performance, corrosion resistance, and long service life. It can be installed in ductwork, wall openings, fan outlets, or air handling systems.
