Gravity Backdraft Damper with Seal

Sealed gravity backdraft damper is an upgraded circular non-return damper designed for HVAC ventilation and exhaust duct systems. Equipped with durable EPDM rubber sealing structure, this round gravity damper delivers excellent airtight performance and zero-leakage backflow prevention, solving the air leakage defect of traditional gravity dampers. With purely gravity-driven automatic opening and closing design, it features low airflow resistance, stable operation and maintenance-free performance. Easy to install on all standard round ductwork and fan outlets, it is widely applied for bathroom ventilation, kitchen exhaust, commercial HVAC systems and all ventilation scenarios requiring enhanced sealing effect.

Product Description

The Gravity Backdraft Damper with Seal is designed to prevent reverse airflow in round HVAC and ventilation duct systems. It features a single blade that opens automatically when air flows in the intended direction and closes by gravity when airflow stops or reverses. Compared with standard gravity backdraft dampers, this model is equipped with an integrated rubber or EPDM sealing strip to improve air tightness and reduce air leakage.

The sealed design helps minimize unwanted outside air entry, dust infiltration, and pressure loss, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial ventilation systems. Its round structure allows easy connection to circular ducts, extractor fans, inline fans, and exhaust systems.

Manufactured from galvanized steel, aluminum, or other optional materials, the damper offers reliable performance, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance. It is an ideal solution where better sealing performance is required without using a spring-loaded mechanism.

Key Features

  • Gravity Operated Design  Blade opens automatically with forward airflow and closes by gravity when airflow stops
  • Integrated Seal  Rubber or EPDM seal improves airtightness and reduces leakage
  • Reverse Airflow Prevention   Prevents backdraft, outside air intrusion, and dust entry
  • Low Pressure Loss  Lightweight blade design ensures smooth airflow passage
  • Improved Closing Performance: Sealing strip helps reduce rattling and enhances shut-off effect
  • Round Duct Compatibility  Suitable for circular ventilation pipes and round HVAC ducts
  • Durable Construction  Available in galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel optional
  • Low Maintenance  No motor, actuator, or complex mechanical parts required
