    howd u do that? lol

    I would bet its ok.  I think I dropped a vapor guage once and it reads ok. Just make sure the needle is sitting at zero and u can blow on it w ur mouth and the needle will move.  I test alot of them that way, just watch out for pipe dope. lol

    we've all done that

    the only way to be absolutely sure of the post impact accuracy, is to get another; and put it on a tee so you can see whether the 2 readings coincide. assuming they do, you can mount the extra on the vent of an upstairs radiator. on my system, it's the only way i can tell it's running.--nbc
