Additional Considerations

Do NOT install vent terminal under any patio or deck.

To help prevent moisture from freezing on walls and under eaves, do not locate vent terminal on the side of a building with prevailing winter winds.

To help prevent water lines from freezing, do not locate vent terminal on the side of a building with prevailing winter winds.

Do NOT locate vent terminal too close to shrubbery, as flue gases may damage them.

Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of vent terminal.

Caulk around thimble face plate for weather tight seal.

All painted surfaces should be primed to lessen the chance of physical damage. Painted surfaces will require maintenance.

Insulate vent pipe of water heaters exposed to cold conditions (attics, crawl spaces, etc.) with inflammable material to help prevent moisture from accumulating in vent pipe. The insulation should be rated for the temperature and should not contain substances that corrode the vent pipe.

Do NOT extend exposed vent pipe of indoor water heaters outside of

If soffit vent is too close, block off and install new vent at another location.

WARNING: Moisture in the flue gas will condense as it leaves the vent terminal. In cold weather this condensate can freeze on the exterior wall, under the eaves and on surrounding objects. Some discoloration on the exterior of the building is to be expected. However, improper location or installation can result in severe damage to the structure or exterior finish of the building.
