comply with NFPA 70 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and IAS certified.
F. Prevent Combustion Air Contamination
Install intake air piping for the heater as described in the Venting
Section, this manual. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that can
allow contamination of intake air.
Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants

possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death. For example, do not pipe intake air near a swimming pool
or laundry facilities. These areas always contain contaminants.
