Anyone care to venture opinion/experience of the *in line* gravity type?

I'd be surprised if any of them are viable.

My electric shutter one works fine tho.
Goes off with a hell of a bang when you
turn it on which takes a bit of getting used
to but never lets any windy weather move it.

Its also important the you can take the inside
shutter and the outside grill off easily and put
them in the dishwasher because they get really
filthy surprisingly quickly if you grill steaks and
chops etc on a stinking hot grill like I do tho.

Also special cowls on the outside can help, I've noticed several types when
I could see but don't know what is actually inside it.

They do the job, but suffer from clunking as air pressure changes with
passing gusts. If you don't mind the odd clunk, then they're okay.

+1 I installed one in the extractor fan duct from our shower room that
had no window; the duct had previously allowed quite a lot of draft
making the room quite chilly, not something you want in a shower room.
But as SW says, it does make little clicky noises as the flap opens
and closes in the 'breeze'.

Thanks all.

Hmm.. Rather as I suspected. Although in a valley, our house is very
exposed to SW winds.
I keep meaning to try attaching plastic/rubber strips to the external
shutters to stop them clattering but thought I ought to explore
alternatives first.
The cooker extract draws complaints so is first on the list for
action:-)

Next question.. what about powered flaps? Do they exist as an optional
fitting? Looping the fan supply to some sort of actuator within the
extractor housing might not invoke part P!

The term you need is "motorised damper".

Ah! Thanks. Don't quite fit the modest cost target:-(

I have seen mention of *thermally operated* which hinted at the wax
expansion/contraction model.
Nothing so far on a *Duck.. duck* search:-)

I'll look again tonight. Today is mix/pour the concrete and fit the
holding down bolts for a barn re-roof!

BTDTWTTS. I stuck some 'D' section rubber draft excluder strip to the
back of the bottom of each strip. It reduced the clattering noise but
didn't eliminate it.
