Here is my set up:
I bought a piece of 3/16's copper tube at the hardware store and told them I needed a short piece or threaded 3/8's pipe that I can thread into a 3/8's hole in the flu pipe. I then told them I needed the compression fittings for the other end of the 3/8's pipe to secure the 3/16's copper tubing....I was brought to a case filled with fittings for ice makers and water filtration etc. It took me a while to find what I needed but I built it there in the store
I then connected one end of the rubber tube that came with the manometer to the copper tubing and to the "low side" port of the manometer and you can see in the photo approx. 4" of rubber tubing connected to the un-used port of the manometer drooped down to keep dirt out of.
And the last picture is my basement stove chugging slowly in this 48* day ....your mission!
Mr. Herald Install UPDATE!!! Am I Forgetting Any Thing?

You could skip the compression fittings and drill a 11/64's hole in the flu pipe and kind of self thread the 3/16's tubing into the pipe an inch or so. The slightly smaller hole should hold the tubing in place.
Some folks use a piece of brake line, bring the tubing to the store with you to make sure you can get it on whatever type of tubing you use.

Being a cheap ass and a cobler, I used a hose from under an old car hood. I think it was the washer fluid hose, to hook to the manometer. Then an old brake line with the fitting that was on it on the one end. Drilled a hole bigger and bigger in the stove pipe until I could screw the fitting into the pipe. Put some type of high heat caulk around the fitting.
you can either leave the other ends fitting on there and just slide it out of the way, or cut the line and slip the rubber over it. Attach rubber hose over manometer fitting. The tricky part is getting the line bent to fit your situation.
Michaels way is better. Mines cheaper, lol. They both work

Not as good but simplest.
Pick out brass threaded fitting with tubing bib in the kit.
Go to auto parts store with fitting and buy 6 to 8 inches of hose to fit that hose bib. Probably windshield washer hose.
Drill small hole in smoke pipe followed by 3/8 drill.
Thread brass with rubber hose into hole and push plastic tube from manometer into hose.
The rubber hose is rated to withstand 250 degrees which will not be reached outside the smoke pipe.

i would love to see you get one just for grins. i'd like to know what level of draft you are operating under when you have your system set for "slow roast"wsherrick wrote:Yes, I see now. What would be the point of putting it after? Thanks guys. I've never used a manometer so I stand corrected.

I had the displeasure of buying the manometer off e-bay for 20.00 not knowing what hardware it should have, and I got nadda, zippo, squat,...sssssssso I had to wing it. If I had know about the wiper motor hose trip, (thanks warminmn!), I would have bought the wife a big bottle of windex that yr.franco b wrote:Not as good but simplest.
