Understand the Damper’s Purpose
Understand the Damper’s Purpose
A suitable top-mounted damper can help limit air movement through an unused fireplace when it is correctly closed. It must fit the chimney system and operate according to its manufacturer instructions.
The chimney, fireplace, existing damper, and venting arrangement should be assessed before installation. A damper is not an automatic cure for smoke entry, and it cannot substitute for needed chimney repairs.
Compatibility and Operation Matter
Compatibility and Operation Matter
Do not use a top-sealing damper to close a flue serving gas logs or another gas-burning appliance. Tell Prime Choice about any gas installation before discussing a damper; those systems have their own venting requirements.
For a compatible wood-burning fireplace, confirm that the damper is fully open before lighting a fire and follow the product’s operating instructions. Do not close the damper while a fire, hot embers, or coals still require venting.
