Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
Preventing negative pressure
Location of appliance and chimney
T
o be sure that your appliance burns properly:
During a low burn, the chimney draft (static pressure) should
be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.)
During a high burn the chimney draft should be approximately
-.10 inch (W.C.)
Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the
appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

Check building codes prior to installation.
