Ok  first  s/s  on a Carlin  burner, I read the whole  control book  never  mentioned.  i am assumeing   that it  service man switch  by looking at place ment , before  primary ?   My second  question  if im useing  venturi/monoflow tees and in need  a pressure  differential  more then can be  achived  by one tee  do i  simply  flip the tee on the  return end or is there  a special  tee for that .

    For your second question...

    You wouldn't simply flip a tee. You would use two tees. The monoflo tee on the return (which is where they are placed if you're only using one) always has to have the cone facing downstream. The tee on the supply always has to have the cone facing upstream. So, the cones would be pointing away from each other.

    Man, I am very confused. I didn't understand a thing you just wrote? Can you be more clear on what your issues are, thanks.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    switch placement

    The serviceman's switch should be after the electrical fireomatic above the unit, and before the control powering L-1 and grounding the L-2 circuits. Is this an aquastat, cad cell relay, fan/limit, or what? A high limit should always be first inline no mater what
