Flue Sentinel Chimney Fan with Damper

All-in-one Fan with Damper Package

The Flue Sentinel Chimney Fan with Automatic Damper. This all-in-one includes a virtually airtight flue damper with a heavy duty fan and chimney cap in one convenient, high performance package. The unit eliminates the need for glass doors on a hearth to conserve heat, and can save as much as 30% in energy costs that would normally be caused by heat loss through a chimney with a traditional damper.

The Flue Sentinel Chimney Fan with Damper is constructed of high-grade stainless steel and can be installed in new or pre-existing chimneys. It is available in two sizes for chimneys with 8” and 12” openings. Comes complete with a control kit that interfaces with the gas logs and automatically opens the damper and engages the fan before allowing the fire to start. Back-up safety features ensure the fire won’t start until the damper is fully open and draft has been proven.

How does a chimney flue work? When there is a call for fire, the Flue Sentinel® Gas Controller automatically opens the flue damper and engages the chimney fan. Once draft has been proven and the damper is fully open, the gas logs are allowed to light. When the fireplace is turned off, the fan is turned off and the damper automatically closes, trapping heat in the chimney.

The Flue Sentinel is designed with a hinged cap so the fan, motor, and damper are easily accessed for service or maintenance. Refer to our Healthy Hearth Guide.
