Square Backdraft Damper for 20-Inch Fan
The Dayton 5NKN5 is an aluminum wall-mount backdraft damper sized for a 20-inch fan. It fits a 22.75-inch square rough opening and provides 2.5 square feet of free area. The unit is 4.5 inches long with a .1-inch thick frame. It operates at air velocities up to 2250 fpm.
Suits Gravity-Vent Installs, Not Motorised Shutters
This damper suits installers who need a simple gravity-operated backdraft closure for square ductwork. It is not for systems that require motorised actuation or positive-seal shutters. Buyers needing a round flange or a different free-area rating should look elsewhere.
22.75-Inch Square Frame Decides Fit
The critical spec is the 22.75-inch square overall frame, which must match the wall opening. The 20-inch fan diameter and 2.5 square-foot free area follow from that frame size. Verify the rough opening before ordering.
