  • Flue damper with a drainage port
    Patent number: 11885493
    Abstract: A flue damper may include a vent pipe with a first side leading to an outlet of the flue damper and a second side leading to an inlet of the flue damper. A damper gate of the flue damper may be movable between an open state and a closed state, where in the open state, the first side of the vent pipe is in fluid communication with the second side, and where in the closed state, the damper gate interrupts fluid communication between the first side and the second side. A drainage port may also be included, and a plug may be movable relative to the drainage port to selectively seal the drainage port when the damper gate remains in the closed state.

  • Flue damper having a float coupled to a damper gate
    Patent number: 11703221
    Abstract: A flue damper may include a flue pipe with a first side leading to an outlet of the flue damper and a second side leading to an inlet of the flue damper. A damper gate may be included and have an open state and a closed state, where in the open state, the first side of the flue pipe is in fluid communication with the second side, and where in the closed state, the damper gate interrupts fluid communication between the first side and the second side. A float may be secured to an upper surface of the damper gate. The upper surface of the damper gate may face the first side of the flue pipe when the damper gate is in the closed state such that the damper gate at least partially opens when condensate collects within the first side of the flue pipe.
