I figure someone here would be able to explain how to use a Magnehelic Gauge as a Draft Gauge on a Cozy Dual Wall Furnace?
What measurement should one see on a properly venting gravity furnace like this?

I've got the same learning curve trying to use my stethoscope. No one was much help at all.

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

Using a match in front of the draft diverter will help you notice if a draft exists. (Take a heating class to learn the simple basics of a "wall heater.")

So you're a clown trying to understand the significance of draft in a
1940's gravity furnace? What exactly are you wanting to know?Any measurement one should see, is the current condition of whatever one is measuring. You may be wondering what some draft parameters must be? You should look for a service technician to hire.
My post was a spot-on analogy to your post. You'll never get it. I now see that.
Think better before you type & post, will ya?

I just wasn't sure if I stuck it in her ass or shoved the tube down her throat and whether It really made any difference?,
But I did figure it out though, the new furnace installed was so efficent with the InShot style burners that the old Oval Transite would never come to temperture warm enough to develope a good draft.
Who ever installed it should have used B-Vent and we never would have had the problem ( Or if had been a higher Btu that old Transite Pipe wold not have cooled the vent gas so quickly)
Sure glad we do not see this old stuff much...
