Yeah nice video, except in several places in the text it reads 0.5" water column instead of .05 how many newbies is that gonna confuse?

I can't believe they went to that extent to produce a professional video and then screwed that up.....

Or am I just being anal?

Everything is in the details, one mistake can leave doubt as to the accuracy of the entire video.
Also they are showing a monometer that has an impulse line tied to the low pressure side which will cause the negative pressure in the flue to display as a positive pressure on the gauge.

Most of us hook it up to the low side so there is a larger scale to read the draft.

However a note should state the reason for hooking it up that way.

Understood Rick,
I am aware of the reason, but like lightning said it can be confusing to someone who does not know better.
A negative pressure should read negative and positive and so on.
