Field Controls 46210701 Control
The Field Controls 46210701, designated as the Model 5" MG1, is a specialized double-acting barometric draft control engineered specifically for gas-fired applications. Designed to maintain stable draft conditions within the flue, this component manages atmospheric pressure variations to prevent pilot outages and combustion instability. With an adjustable range of .01" WC to .1" WC, it allows for precise field calibration to meet specific appliance requirements. The double-acting gate provides an essential safety mechanism, swinging both inward and outward to relieve backdraft conditions and prevent products of combustion from entering the mechanical room. This 5-inch draft regulator is a critical component for ensuring consistent efficiency and safe operation in residential and light commercial gas atmospheric systems. Integrating a gas draft control like the MG1 reduces stack loss and optimizes burner performance, making it a standard requirement for professional HVAC installations involving Type B or single-wall vent configurations.
Key Technical Benefits- Combustion Stability: Maintains a constant draft by compensating for changes in barometric pressure and stack temperature.
- Safety Compliance: Double-acting design allows the gate to open outward, relieving internal pressure and protecting against downdrafts.
- Precision Tuning: Features a sensitive, balanced gate with an adjustable weight for accurate static pressure regulation.
- Durable Construction: Built with heavy-gauge materials to withstand high flue gas temperatures and continuous operation.
- Universal Compatibility: Specifically designed for 5-inch flue pipes on gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters.
Is the MG1 suitable for oil-fired appliances?
No, the MG1 is a double-acting control built for gas applications. Oil systems typically require a single-acting M or RC2 series control to maintain proper overfire draft.
Where should the 5" MG1 be installed for maximum accuracy?
For optimal draft regulation, install the control as close to the appliance as possible, ideally between the draft hood and the chimney, ensuring the gate is perfectly level.
What happens if the draft control is set too high?
Excessive draft can lead to pilot light failure or localized overheating. The integrated adjustment weights must be calibrated using a manometer to match the manufacturer's specified water column pressure.
