A lot of you have been wanting to know what my reading is, so here it is.

+.5

I hope I did it right!

High for a New Yorker... they say in the "Directions" not over .05 inches.

I've got mine down to 0.025 inches, and it's working much better than before I put the BDD in. Jammed the BDD shut for giggles to see what it would be. YIKES... .155 inches, almost 4 times the maximum draft recommended.

I'm guessing, but I believe the above post is a response to Weather Effects on Furance

DOn;t you mean .05? .5 is pretty high.

I wasn't sure how to read the meter. The measurement is exactly between 0 and .10. Since there are no number between I wasn't sure if it was .05 or .5.

So am I good? What's the next step? There was discussion in my other thread about installing the damp vertically.

It doesn't matter which way the baro is placed, horiz or vertically, as long as setup correctly
