Exactly the info I needed. Figured it should be similar to a ball valve, but our apartment only had the wing nut, and it goes fully around, but was moving the damper as it did. Time to find my pliers!

It was only blowing in the bedroom, and the thermostat is between the kitchen and living room. Got the vents in the living room and bathroom open, so things should be much more even!

Great content - so what happens if the handle breaks off? I just noticed this evening that the handle to the air ducts that are upstairs was on the ground and you could tell where it came off - how do I put it back / get a new one without calling someone and paying tons of money? Thanks!!

You are a life saver!!

Thank you kindly sir.

Great! Thank you. That was very clear.

Thank you so much,good information.

Are those mainly in 2 story houses? I have one in my 1 story house. What is the point of closing it at all?

I don't understand the "closed feature" of the damper. Summer or winter why would you want to close the damper?

In the summer you want lower the damper for the downstairs so more air flows upstairs where bedrooms typically are and where it gets hotter . Only useful if you have a multi story house or split level house

once I loosen the wig nut I could figure which way I wanted to go very good explanation.

For second floor AC, are these ducts usually located in the attic?

My ductwork doesn't seem to have a damper. Everytime the ac shuts off it makes a loud bang as if the ducts are contracting. The sound echoes throughout the house and it is a bit of a disturbance especially when you have a baby in the house. Anyone got any solutions or probable causes?

I have the same thing happening. Have you solved this?

All I can see is the plentum. It looks like i might need to remove some sheetrock to get a visual, Do all furnaces have dampers?

What if you have multiple of those pieces how do you know when it's open or closed???

My dampers do not have flat spots on the end to indicate which direction it's going. It seems like mine are perpendicular to the handle.

We don't have those! I thought this would save us this summer but I just ran downstairs in our basement with my husband and we looked where our furnace is and have no option to open or close no nut or anything! Is that normal? Our house is from 2017

Hi thanks for the question! We answered in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f32Vz8OfdaWqm7w.html. Hope that helps, thanks again!

Do you open or close it in summer ?

@Jabbal24

Жыл бұрын

Open means more air flow, so depending on if you need more flow, then open position

Why do y'all never mention which season should be opened or closed? I assume it's super obvious to you, but when you are clueless it's confusing.

Does it matter if 'open' is on the left side or right side?

Open is left and right. Closed is top and bottom.

why does air still come out of the vents that the damper controls if I have the damper closed? Shouldn't the vent controlled by the damper have no air coming out if the damper is closed?

It's a damper not a s seal. Air will still flow through if you close the damper it just won't flow at as high of a rate since it is a path of higher resistance

Do you open it for more cold air flow to upstairs in summer?

@robertferrara427

If you close it less cold, open it for more cold upstairs.

We have dampers in all the supply ducts. But the ductwork is in the crawl space. It’s not convenient to crawl in there every season.
