Field Controls 01804401 Control
The Field Controls 01804401 (Model 7" MG1) is a high-precision double-acting barometric draft control engineered specifically for gas-fired heating systems, including furnaces, boilers, and conversion burner applications. This 7-inch draft regulator is an essential component for maintaining combustion stability and preventing backdrafting by automatically compensating for fluctuations in barometric pressure and stack temperature. Technical field data confirms that the 01804401 is identical to 1804401, offering a versatile draft adjustment range from .01" wc to .1" wc to meet strict manufacturer specifications.
Designed for professional installation, the Field Controls MG1 features a double-acting gate that opens outward to relieve positive vent system pressure, ensuring the safety of gas atmospheric appliances and systems utilizing mechanical draft inducers or sidewall power venters. The 38.5 square inch nominal capacity and included collar allow for a secure fit on 6" to 7" diameter flue pipes. By maintaining a consistent overfire draft, this barometric damper optimizes fuel efficiency and reduces mechanical stress on the heat exchanger.
Key Benefits for HVACR Contractors:- Precision Regulation: Provides accurate draft control at levels higher than standard draft diverters, adjustable specifically for gas applications.
- Universal Compatibility: Ideal for conversion burner installations, gas-fired boilers, and systems with mechanical draft or power venting.
- Pressure Relief: Double-acting design effectively manages positive pressure as low as .01" wc, protecting the appliance from downdrafts.
- Simplified Calibration: Features a weight-based adjustment system for reliable, tool-free fine-tuning during combustion analysis.
- Flexible Mounting: Suitable for horizontal, vertical, or sloping flue pipes; ensuring the gate pivot points remain level regardless of orientation.
When should I use a double-acting draft control instead of a standard draft hood?
A double-acting draft control like the 7-MG1 is required when you need precise draft regulation higher than what a draft diverter allows, or when installing gas draft-induced appliances where a standard hood is not feasible. It is specifically designed to handle positive vent pressures.
How do I adjust the draft setting on this model?
Adjustment is achieved by adding or removing the provided washer-type weights from the weight holder. Use a manometer to verify the water column (wc) setting during burner operation to ensure it matches the appliance's data plate requirements.
Does the 01804401 include the mounting collar?
Yes, this part number includes the factory mounting collar designed to fit 7" flue pipes, ensuring a plumb and level installation for the gate assembly.
