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.
