CAUTION
Flue Gas will condense as it exits the vent termination. This condensate can freeze on exterior building surfaces which may cause discoloration of these surfaces. Consideration should be given to the plume of condensation that exits the exhaust which may affect the cosmetic appearance of the building.
All venting must be properly supported. The Munchkin is not intended to support any venting whatsoever. All piping, glue, solvents, cleaners, fittings and components, must conform to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), and ANSI (American National Standards Institute). It is recommended that you use one of the optional vent kits specifically designed for Munchkin installa- tions, available from Heat Transfer Products, Inc.
