Typical incorrect
rain cap.
If the exhaust vent is routed through the roof, the
termination must be either the same type as described
for a sidewall installation or a rain cap. The preferred
method to terminate the exhaust vent is with a rain cap
to minimize the drippage of condensate onto the roof
and ice build-up
.
The rain cap should be an
unrestrictive type similar to the figure above. Elbows
are also acceptable.
