Hey folks,

I'm going to bite the bullet and pick up a Magnehilic gauge... but there's a LOT of them to choose from. Which one is the one that you HVAC guys use? Englander 25-PDVC... I'm told the proper vacuum reading for this stove is 0.05 wc... and it appears that the lowest reading gauge they have (that I've been able to find, anyway) starts at 0.25" wc, which doesn't seem like it'll work for this application, as the lowest reading is considerably higher than the range I'm supposed to be running at... unless my "facts" are in error. Appreciate the input!
