The grounding conductor must be connected to
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.

combustion air and exhaust required by fireplaces,
gas furnaces, gas water heaters and other naturally
vented systems. To minimize the chance of
interruption of such naturally vented systems, follow
the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines
and safety standards such as those published by
NFPA and ASHRAE. When applicable, install any
makeup (replacement) air system in accordance
with local building code requirements. Visit
