Sufficient air supply is required for proper combustion
and the exhaustion of gases through the chimney (flue) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back-drafting. See the
standards of NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
and ASHRAE (American Society for Heating Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers) and the local building code
authorities.
• Exercise care to not damage existing wiring when cutting
or drilling into walls or ceilings.
• Fans should always be vented to the exterior and in
