H. REMOVING A APPLIANCE FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM
Do not install the appliance into a common vent with any other appliance. This will cause flue gas spillage or appliance malfunction,
resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon
monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
When removing an existing appliance, the following steps must be
followed.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch
to determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies
that could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the
common venting system and other spaces in the building. Turn on clothes
dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system.
Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts,
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all
fireplace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting
instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate

continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or
smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents when tested as
outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to
approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1.
