Dampers
Cast Iron Dampers designed specifically for the Superior Clay Rumford Throat. Available in 2 Sizes Small and Large, to fit one piece Rumford Throats. Small Damper (9×24) fits 30″ and 36″ Throats. Large Damper (9×30) fits 42″ and 48″ Throats. The unique gasket frame, and fiber rope create an energy efficient seal which prevents loss of heated room air when your Rumford Fireplace is not in use. For residents living in an area where gasket doors are required, these dampers may work for you. Contact us to learn more.
