5. 5. 5. 5. 5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an
additional backdraft damper that is already installed
to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic
thermal break to minimize conduction of outside
temperatures as part of the ductwork. The
damper should be on the cold air side of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to
where the ducting enters the heated portion of
the house.
6. 6. 6. 6. 6. Make up air: Local building codes may require the
use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted
Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of
air movement.
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific
