BAROMETRIC DAMPER
Reading
Stove
Company
recommends that a barometric
damper be installed in the
chimney
connector
pipe.
Maintaining the draft at a
controlled constant minimizes
the possibility of over-firing and
improves
the
combustion
efficiency.
The
Field
Model
R-C,
manufactured by Field Controls,
Kinston, North Carolina 28501,
is a preferred version because
it is easy to install and does not
require a draft gauge and tire
for set up.
The 6" Model R•C will fit in the
side leg of a standard single
wall black tee connector. [See
Figure 5:1]
The tee may be positioned anywhere within
the stove to chimney connection. It may be
installed in either vertical, horizontal or sloping
smoke pipe. However, it is critical at, accurate
calibration that the front edge of the side leg
is straight up and down, i.e.
perpendicular to
the floor.
