Figure 31.

When direct venting through the wall, as shown in Figure 32, the exhaust should terminate a minimum of 24” from the air intake. The exhaust may be rotated up to 45 degrees left or right as long as the 24” distance is maintained.

The air intake screen can be removed for space heating at cold climate installation to prevent potential air intake freeze up. If air intake screen is removed during winter to prevent freezing it is recommended to re- install the screen during non-space heating seasons.

If necessary to achieve the 12” minimum clearance above the highest anticipated snow level or grade for the air intake install a snorkel, similar to the exhaust, in the up position. Maintain the 24” distance between the intake and exhaust terminations.
