Another Magnehelic Question...
Posted: Tue. Sep. 22, 2015 8:32 pm
Happy September everyone.
We fired up the Koker just yesterday and all is running well, though, I can't seem to get my magnehelic to show any readings.
I received great advice last season on the install, though, the gauge just sits at the zero mark.
The port in the back is plugged by the rubber piece provided by the manufacturer.
If I breath in, as if drinking from a straw on the copper end, the needle moves up, so, I do not think it's a faulty gauge.
The unit is level.
The tubing is installed to the bottom port of the unit and the top is left open.
I've tried moving the damper rod on top of the direct vent housing to a few different positions, though still no movement on the gauge in the slightest.
The restrictor plate on the combustion blower is affixed, covering about 3/4 of the opening.
All pipes were thoroughly cleaned last season inclusive of underneath the grates.
I'm out of ideas!
A fresh perspective would go appreciated.
Respectfully ,
Michael
