    Do you have combustion numbers and flu draft number?

    None of them. I replaced old one.... couldn't find any parts or fittings at 6 pm. And restaurants have to close if no hot water... so steel brake line for a car was used. Actually worked well. Then other parts failed when I left for a mini vacation (of course they would on first one I ever have with this company. Installer of new one has been handling since then.... I've just been trying to communicate with the bosses and owners about what's going on and them to fix the issue. But why on 3 different ones... just suddenly. Thought it might be combustion issue. 4 inches of water column. And door to room has been left open for 2 days and line still did the same thing.
