BROAN-NuTone MD10TU Damper

The BROAN-NuTone MD10TU is a heavy-duty 10-inch universal automatic make-up air damper engineered to resolve negative air pressure issues in modern, tight-envelope residential construction. Designed for seamless integration with range hoods over 300 CFM, this HVAC pressure relief valve synchronizes with the exhaust system to provide fresh air intake, preventing backdrafting of combustion appliances. The unit features a normally closed motorized damper powered by a 24VAC transformer, ensuring airtight closure when not in use to maintain thermal efficiency. This interlocked make-up air system is compatible with most Broan, NuTone, and BEST range hoods, as well as many third-party ventilation systems. Its slave-damper design allows for easy installation into existing ductwork, utilizing a heavy-duty galvanized steel construction and a foam-padded blade for a tight seal. For contractors, the MD10TU provides a reliable, code-compliant solution for IRC make-up air requirements without complex wiring.

Key Benefits
  • Ensures compliance with IRC M1503.4 codes for high-CFM kitchen exhaust systems.
  • Reduces negative air pressure to prevent the infiltration of outdoor pollutants and drafts.
  • Hard-wired 24VAC motorized control provides synchronized operation with the primary ventilation fan.
  • Durable galvanized steel construction with a foam seal minimizes air leakage when the system is inactive.
  • Universal design works with a wide range of kitchen ventilation brands and configurations.
Common Questions

How do I wire the MD10TU to a non-Broan range hood?
This unit uses a standard 24VAC transformer and can be triggered by a flow switch or a dry contact relay from the exhaust fan's control board.

What is the purpose of a 10-inch make-up air damper?
It replaces the specific volume of air exhausted by the range hood, preventing dangerous backdrafting from gas water heaters or furnaces.

Can this damper be installed in any orientation?
While horizontal installation is standard, it can be mounted in various positions as long as the motor remains accessible for service and the blade movement is not obstructed.
