Anyone know of a way to set a barometric damper without a draft gauge? I just replaced mine because the old one was junk and now I need to set this one.

best way to set it is by adjusting the weight position, Watch its movement ,when the system is running if it is opening about 1/4 way it is functioning properly, if opening more closer to the full 90 degrees then adjust the weight to reduce the amount it swings open.

Well I have noticed a huge increase in heat of the furnace and it burns much longer. I have a 35 foot masonary chimney that draws when cold, and I have noticed I have overdraft. Well my old damper wasn't working so I replaced it. It has the weight that can go on either side I have it set where its about where your talking. Thanks.
