Installation Guide

point, moisture in the exhaust condenses
in the vent, which can lead to accelerated
vent corrosion. Maintain hot ue gas
temperatures. It is recommended that the
vent run inside the building envelope or
inside a chase enclosure to minimize the
vent’s exposure to cold temperatures. Be sure
to follow all-applicable building codes and
the requirements of the vent and appliance
manufacturers.
Appliance Operation: Always operate
your appliance in accordance with the
appliance manufacturer’s recommendations.
However, operating the appliance at its
lowest setting has a greater chance for
condensate to form in the vent due to the
low exhaust temperature. In order to help
reduce condensate from forming inside
the vent system, operate the appliance at
higher temperatures when colder weather
is encountered. Higher operation settings
provide for warmer ue temperatures, which
help to keep moisture suspended in the ue
gases.
Inspection and Maintenance: Be sure to
inspect the appliance and vent often to
determine if there has been any corrosion or
damage to the system. Be sure to keep the
venting system clean, including the tee cap (if
applicable).
