CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

2. Remove vent cap and shine a flashlight
into vent. Remove any foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive con

densation. Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipes and fittings
and can be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior
