For use with any wood-burning or coal-burning stove
Designed for use with any wood-burning or coal-burning stove, a six inch stove damper improves stove efficiency. Improved heat distribution capabilities translate to savings for you in winter heating costs. Made with a spring-loaded removable steel shaft, the cast iron stove damper will fit all standard single-wall vent pipes. The addition of a durable cast iron damper will increase the life of your wood-burning unit while providing the heat output that you are searching for.
Most manufacturers will specify the ideal height, but in the event that you are using an older stove that does not say, 12 inches is a good height. This will still allow it to function properly without you having to put your hand and arm too close to the hot stove top.
The damper pin will have a small bend nearer the handle, which will hold the pin securely within the cast iron plate. In order to free the pin, you must push the handle in and compress the spring fully. This will force the bend in the pin out of the retaining sleeve on the plate. You can then rotate the pin and pull it out of the plate.
It will be necessary to hold the plate while performing this procedure so that it does not bend the stovepipe or fall into the stove when the pin is removed.
