VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting system
following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are exposed
to the weather for corrosion (rust spots or streaks
and, in extreme cases, holes). Have these items
replaced immediately by a qualied service
person.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Continued
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a ashlight
into the vent. Remove any foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation.
Continuous condensation can cause corrosion
of caps, pipes and ttings and can be caused
by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows or exterior portions of the system being
exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or
tting has been disturbed and loosened. Check
mechanical supports such as wall straps for
rigidity.
