I just thought I would put this out there for those of us who use the
Magnehelic. I have started using a gauge from a company called Sensocon
that is very similar to the Magnehelic and I have found it to be just as
reliable. It isn't made by Dwyer, but in my opinion it is nice to have
another option. They have a distributor that sells them on line for $56

A Magnahelic in the flue will wreck an expensive piece of equipment,
You'll need a Flue gas analyzer to get proper venting data...
