Combustion Air Duct Pressure Drop Tables
The tables in this section list the pressure drop in sealed combustion air ducts for the Innovation-
Edge models at various outside air temperatures and duct diameters.
3.7.1 Corrections For Altitude
The table below lists correction factors for installation altitudes above sea level. These factors
must be applied to both the natural draft and pressure drops of vent and air ducts.
The pressure
drop through vents and combustion air ducts will increase at higher elevations, while the natural
draft will decrease.
