Michael G Pasipanki: This damper will work but it doesn’t work well enough for me to feel comfortable using it on my anthracite stove pipe. The quality is ok, but definitely not what I want for continual long-term use. It was easy to adjust, I needed to take the door from vertical to horizontal orientation and that was easy to do. It is easy to set, but doesn’t react well with drafts outside and gets stuck open sometimes, despite the setting. The other thing that concerned me is the damper door blew completely out when I started my stove and the draft hadn’t yet started flowing well and the stove kind of backfired, as they will sometimes. It blew the damper door clean off of the unit. Had I not been in the basement to witness this and put it back right away, the stove would have been venting directly into the house.I’d use this on a wood stove at camp or something like that but I upgraded to a better quality one for home.

LaVern S: I found the damper disc to be stiff in it's swing action. As it was, I installed it on my flue pipe but found out after I cut the pipes and installed it , the stove manufacturer says not to use a damper because it is a EPA certified stove to be used without any dampers after the firein the flue, but to use dampers built in the stove ahead of the fire.

Joe M: While I've used this brand of barometric draft regulator before, the one I received in this order was substantially less than 6" diameter. It took a lot of work to insert the crimped end of a 6" stovepipe, and wound up warping the unit. I was going to send it back, but once I got the stovepipe into it, I couldn't get it back out again.

EDIT: After a couple of weeks, I've come to the conclusion that this brand has just become a piece of junk. It simply doesn't work, the barometric damper binds and gets stuck, and no amount of adjusting will improve the operation. I wound up buying a Field Controls damper, and it won't even fit because the measurements on the this unit are smaller than the advertised 6". Avoid this unit and buy something better, because you'll just be replacing it anyway.
