and has a 2 inch rise per foot.

• Replace with a larger flue providing a minimum of 50 square

inches but not more than 100 square inches of draft area. If the

flue is within  these specifications, check the draft with a draft gage

(manometer). Your flue should provide a minimum of .04 water

column inches and a maximum of .08 water column inches.
