Use a Field Controls Type MG-1 Barometric Draft Control. Gas-fi red draft induced systems should have a single-acting or double-acting barometric draft control installed. - Page 6 NOTE: Do not enclose the space between the plates on the outside of the vent hood or between the inner and outer pipe of the vent hood. This might cause overheating of the wall structure. Local codes might require fencing around the vent hood outlet. VENTER LOCATION Install the power venter onto the vent hood inlet or as close to the vent hood inlet as possible.
