CAUTION
To prevent the possible re-circulation
of fl ue gases, the vent designer must
take into consideration such things
as prevailing winds, eddy zones,
building confi gurations, etc. It is the
responsibility of the installer to locate
the exhaust duct in such a way that it
does not become blocked due to snow,
ice, and other natural or man-made
obstructions.
Do not locate the vent termination too
close to shrubbery as fl ue products may
stunt their growth or kill them.
