Note: The ducts to the outside must be insulated.
The starting collars
labeled Connect to Outside must be ducted to the outside of the building, and
the following precautions should be taken.
1. The ends of the two ducts should be as far apart as practical (at least six
feet, either horizontally or vertically) to minimize re-circulation of the
exhaust air.
2. Terminate the ducts using exterior weather hoods. Ensure that the
exterior weather caps have wire mesh to keep out birds, small animals,
insects, and debris. Angle the weather caps down and away from each
other and place them away from exhaust vents for other appliances
such as dryers or hot water heaters. Avoid placing air intake vents near
exhaust vents from adjacent buildings or sources of automobile exhaust.
Never place an air intake in a garage, for instance.
3. Make sure that the joints between the termination vents and the walls
are sealed to prevent air and moisture penetration.
