combustion and vents flue gas to the outdoors. It is not
to be installed using indoor air for combustion. The
vent pipe must terminate outside the structure and must
not be obstructed in any way. The air--intake pipe must
terminate outside the structure or in a well ventilated
area that is isolated from the living space and the garage
(e.g. well ventilated attic or crawlspace). Do not block
or obstruct air openings on furnace or spaces around
furnace.
