additional backdraft damper 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.
