Can we use a vacuum gauge, or a pressure gauge?

Nope, the differential you are dealing with is infinitesimal amount and it requires a manometer or draft gauge.

if your vacuum gauge reads down to 1" of water or less, then that might work.

I just picked this one up on ebay, rare find! Reads between 0-1

Am I reading it incorrectly or is it 0 -1 bar? Which if I remember my conversion correctly is something like 14.5 psi which is about 400 in.H2O. That may be a little hard to see the draft measurement on.

Yes that gauge reads 0-1 Bar which is definitely not even useable for draft applications. 1 Bar is 401.5" of H20. You need a guage that ranges 0-.25" of H20. The dwyer mark II mentioned earlier in this post or a dwyer magnahelic in the 0-.25 range will work as well.

I have a new in the box (with oil) some do not include the oil, Dwyer model 25 I will sell for 25 dollars. I bought it on ebay just before I got bought my hyfire. Dave at LL sent me a Dwyer 460 air meter so I hooked that up instead of the model 25.zip code 18070

All these great prices and I ordered mine already.

Oh well, they will be here tomorrow.

0-1 BAR is way too high. The guage will never move.

This is what a lot of the service people use, pricey. (You might find these on Craigslist, Ebay or yard sales)

The Ebay seller was nice enough to refund my money. Lesson learned, I guess I'm a little anxious. Who isn't? I got a new toy to play with!

I just wanted to share this with you guys. My Boss lent me a Bacharach draft rite gauge with a needle dial. I believe they go for around $150
But I still went for the Dwyer 460, it's nice looking and cheap
