PIPE

The flue outlet on the Mini-Caddy furnace is 6 inch inside diameter. In case of
excessive draft, a barometric draft control must be installed. The barometric
drafty control must be set so that the draft measured at the furnace outlet does
not exceed -.06 in. W.C. Draft above -.06 in W.C. could result in an
uncontrollable fire and furnace overheat. However, draft should not drop below -
.04 in W.C. in the smoke pipe.

ATTENTION

DO NOT INSTALL A MANUAL DAMPER ON THIS FURNACE.
