connected to the venting system being placed into
operation, while all other appliances connected to the
venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CSA
B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code
and these instructions. Determine that there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliance(s) connected to the venting system
are located and other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.

thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances
at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of
main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or

8. If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the venting system must be corrected
in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z221.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1 Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance
connected to the venting system properly vents
where
tested as outlined above, return doors,
windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any
other gas -fired burning appliance to their previous
conditions of use.
