Can someone recommend a good 6" barometric draft to use with my new Drolet HC? My understanding is that I need one that's made from black pipe or stainless (not galv), and is explosion proof. So far, these are what I've found.

I'm not sure what material the top one is made out of. I'm also not sure if either are explosion proof. The bottom one is at least black, but it comes as part of a Tee. I can use it in my application, but I'd be better off with one that wasn't already built into a Tee because of exactly where I want to install it. Push come to shove, I could make the bottom one work.

Also could use a recommendation for a suitable manometer to use for setting up the draft. Considering getting this (T168) but open to recommendations.


Thanks,
Mark
