    Bronx Guy with Silly (?) question about Oil Burner--

    Was wondering if there were any Oil Burner Installers who could give a complete amateur some advice?
    The flue pipe on my Weil Mclain Oil Burner fell apart and was put back together by an emergency technician a few weeks ago. Recently I looked at it and noticed that on the The Barometric Draft Damper, the 'weighted' section of the round swinging metal door is on the bottom, but I could have sworn it use to be on the top.

    I guess my question is where is the weighted part of the door on a Barometric Draft Damper for an oil burner supposed to be? And if it is "upside down" is that dangerous?

    Thank you!

    Is there writing on the swinging part that is right side up?
