I need some help. This Heatilator GB4942 with a 6" B-Vent flue did not have a damper in it. I could not find anything in the installation guidelines that says it even needed one. Any help would be great.

No damper required or approved for this unit. I went onto the Heatilator Dealer site and pulled up the most current manual, Rev. H. BTW, this unit started production 1/19/04 and is currently being produced. This size is known as a 42" Geneva. I know the engineer who designed this unit and I was a part of a cmte. reviewing facing options and revisions to the burner. The original burner was a little noisy. There is a high limit switch behind the removable hood, which is manual reset. These units can come in standing pilot or intermittent pilot ignition in NG or LP.

HTH,
Bob

Thank you Bob! That is what I needed.

Ya see, I tell folks all the time that every day is a learning experience!
