5. Avoid areas where condensate drainage
may cause problems by dropping on plant-
ers or patios, etc. Also ensure that ex-
haust gases will not impinge on windows
or building surfaces, which may be com-
promised or damaged by condensation.
Do not install the vent terminal such that
exhaust is directed into window wells,
stairwells, under decks or into alcoves or
similar recessed areas, and do not termi-
nate above any public walkways. 6. Select the point of wall penetration where
the minimum 1/4 inch per foot of slope up
can be maintained.
! CAUTION:
For optimal performance vent furnace
through wall which experiences the least
exposure to winter winds.
