DRAFT REGULATOR CONTROL 
This device is used in conjunction with conventional chimney 
venting. This control (or draft regulator) automatically maintains 
a constant negative pressure in the furnace to obtain maximum 
efficiency. It ensures that proper pressures are not exceeded. If 
the chimney does not develop sufficient draft, the draft control 
cannot function properly. The draft regulator, must be installed 
within the same room or enclosure as the furnace, and should 
not interfere with the combustion air supplied to the burner. The 
control should be located a minimum of 3 flue pipe diameters 
from the furnace breeching and installed in accordance to the 
instructions supplied with the regulator.
