Installation Instructions
Avoid the following:
•Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as: 1) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts
of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). 2) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
3)Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing for limited internal air. 4) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces or water heaters.
5)Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.
•Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
•Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground.
•Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
