Installing a Common Vent System
Note
●
The illustration is intended for
reference purposes only.
●
Direct the exhaust away from any
building openings.
●
During cold weather situations, the
temperature of the exhaust will be
much warmer than the ambient air.
Therefore, you will see water vapor
being produced at the termination.
9.7 Installing a Condensate Drain
Refer to the following examples to install a
condensate drain hose (field supplied) to the
common vent system. The condensate drain hose
prevents condensate or rain from entering the
exhaust system and gathering above the Common
Vent Collar Kit. The exhaust vent must be sloped
down towards the drain to prevent water from
collecting within the pipe.
