Eldad Posted Saturday at 18:24 Share Posted Saturday at 18:24 As part of our rear extension project, out builder had installed ducting for a range hood. We feel cold air coming out of the range hood whenever it is not working. The are non return valve installed on the hood but it seems strange to me that cold air should be getting all the way up to the hood instead of being blocked outside the property. We have a backdraft dumper (see photos and I hope I'm using the right terms) installed but I'm not sure if it's doing its job. Is this normal? Should the cold air only be blocked by the range hood itself and not before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJNewton Posted Monday at 15:21 Share Posted Monday at 15:21 Are you sure that terminal has something in it to prevent backdraft? To me it look like the type fitted to many a log burner, and just serves to let smoke out and prevent rainwater getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
