An appliance that operates with a non-positive vent static pressure with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate
production in the vent.
CAT IV: Positive pressure condensing
An appliance that operates with a positive vent static pressure with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate
production in the vent.
