A damper clamp is provided to x the damper in
position.
The minimum ue sizes shown in Figure 2 are
based on a 6' chimney height using round pipe. Your
minimum ue size will vary based on input rate and
chimney height. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 6.6, for details.
