Ducting to Outside
Note: The ducts to the outside must be insulated.
The collars labeled “
to Outside”
must be ducted
through the exterior of the building, and the
following precautions should be taken.
1.
The ends of the two ducts should be as far
apart as practical (at least six feet, either
horizontally or vertically) to minimize
re-circulation of the exhaust air.
2.
Terminate the ducts using
exterior
weather
hoods. Ensure that the exterior weather caps
have wire mesh to keep out birds and debris.
Angle the weather caps down and away from
each other and place them away from exhaust
vents for other appliances such as dryers or
hot water heaters. Avoid placing air intake
vents near exhaust vents from adjacent
buildings or sources of automobile exhaust.
Never place an air intake in a garage, for
instance.
3.
Make sure that the joints between the
termination vents and the walls are weather
sealed.
