They're not just "replacement dampers" anymore...
All throat dampers leak energy, even brand new ones. So each
and every fireplace is a candidate for the money saving benefits of an energy
saving damper installation. Lock-Top energy saving dampers lock energy in with a
seal of silicone rubber. No metal to metal throat damper can do that!
The Lock-Top has a stainless steel lid attached to a cast
aluminum frame by an array of stainless spring wires. It comes with a 30' cable
that drops down the chimney and is operated with a handle mounted inside the
firebox. A quick tug springs the damper open or tightly closes the lid.
PLEASE do not install these dampers where gas logs or log lighters have been
installed. Failure to properly ventilate carbon monoxide may lead to very
serious illness and even death. Also, a small gas leak not properly ventilated
could cause a very large explosion resulting in loss of personal property, or
life.
