a. Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
b. Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other
defi ciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
c. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances remaining connected to the common
venting system are located and other spaces of the
building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance
not connected to the common venting system.
Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum
speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
fi replace dampers.
d. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat
so appliance will operate continuously.
e. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after
5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the fl ame
of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette,
cigar or pipe.
f. After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fi replace dampers and
any other gas burning appliance to their previous
conditions of use.
g. Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
