First Company 2722701 6 Inch Draft Control Oil Gas Coal

Product Description

The FIRST COMPANY 2722701 is a 6-inch cylindrical barometric draft control designed to maintain consistent flue draft in oil, gas, and coal-fired heating appliances. Draft fluctuations caused by shifts in barometric pressure, ambient temperature, or wind can disrupt combustion efficiency and increase fuel consumption. The 2722701 counteracts those negative forces by automatically balancing draft conditions at the flue. The result is more complete combustion and steadier appliance operation. This control is a field-installed component typically handled by licensed HVAC technicians or heating equipment service professionals.

The 2722701 is applicable to residential and light commercial heating appliances fired by oil, gas, or coal. It installs in the flue connector between the appliance and the chimney, where it modulates draft by admitting room air as needed to hold draft at a set point. Cylindrical in shape, it is suited for round flue pipe installations at the 6-inch diameter size. This makes it a common replacement or new-installation component in forced-air furnaces, boilers, and other combustion heating equipment that rely on natural draft venting.

Key Features

• Maintains constant flue draft against changes in barometric pressure, temperature, and wind
• Compatible with oil, gas, and coal-fired heating appliances
• 6-inch cylindrical form factor fits standard round flue connector pipe
• Promotes more complete combustion for improved fuel efficiency
• Manufactured in the USA
• Prop 65 compliant labeling included

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation draft control for residential and light commercial natural-draft heating appliances vented through 6-inch round flue connector pipe, including oil, gas, and coal-fired furnaces and boilers.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified heating equipment service professional. Shut down and allow the appliance and flue to cool completely before beginning work, and follow all applicable local codes and IFGC or NFPA 31 requirements for venting and combustion appliances. The draft control is installed in the flue connector pipe between the appliance outlet and the chimney; verify the pipe diameter matches the 6-inch rating before installation. Do not restrict or seal the barometric damper door, as unrestricted movement is required for proper draft regulation.
