vENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of the venting system

following these guidelines:

1. Check areas of venting system that are ex-

posed to the weather for corrosion (rust spots

or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes). Have

these items replaced immediately by a quali-

fied service person.

2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight

into the vent. Remove any foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation.

Continuous condensation can cause corrosion

of caps, pipes, and fittings 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

fitting has been disturbed and loosened. Check

mechanical supports such as wall straps for

rigidity.
