What is the tube with the colored liquid on the pipe?

The U-tube manometer is a fan performance indicator. It shows the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the pipe. The nearby label should be marked with the initial reading in 8ths or 10ths of an inch. If both sides of the manometer are at zero, there is no suction in the pipe and you should call for service.
