Assembly
Screw Draft Tube parts É& Êto-gether
then screw them into back of Draftrite
Ë. When required, extend Draft Tube
with length of ¼" copper tubing. Total
length of extended tube must not exceed
12 inches.
Location For Checking Draft
Heating Equipment Manufacturer may
require draft measurement (a) in flue
between furnace and draft regulator; (b)
overfire between combustion space and heat
exchanger. Locate draft hole in flue at least
6" from draft regulator or damper toward
furnace. Use awl with ¼" shank to form hole
in flue or light sheet metal. Overfire measure-
ment may be made through bolt hole or air
louvre in door or through observation port, if
necessary, drill a ¼" hole. In case of oversize
open-ing, Draft Tube should protrude several
inches minimum beyond inside wall, if neces-
sary extend Draft Tube (see above).
Draft Measurement
Operate burner for several minutes and
while continuing to operate insert about half
of Draft Tube into draft hole. Cover Zero
Check hole Ìwith finger, level Draftrite until
(a) Draft Tube is horizon-tal and (b) pointer
is in line with zero scale mark, uncover Zero
Check hole without disturbing position of
Draftrite. Pointer instantly shows draft or
pressure reading. Use of the Draftrite is il-
lustrated on front page.
Maintenance
Protect instrument from dirt, oil, and
lint. Do not oil. Keep gauge in case when
not in use, and keep case free of lint
or dirt. Clean Draft Tube occasionally
with pipe cleaner. Protect gauge against
excessive shock. Do not use as continu-
ously indicating instrument. Draftrite is
designed for spot checking draft where
extreme portability is important.
Correct Draft
All combustion equipment requires correct
draft for best performance. Specific draft
recommendation should be obtained from
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Draftrite is furnished in two ranges for
measurement of updraft/downdraft of fuel
burning equipment as follows:
1. .10 inch water downdraft
to .14 inch water updraft.
2. .05 inch water downdraft
to .25 inch water updraft.
Neither of the above models can be used to
locate Neutral Pressure Point as required in
"Requirements for Instal-lation and Adjust-
ment of Domestic Gas Conversion Burners"
(ANSI-Z21.8-1994).
