VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting
system following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,
holes). Have these items replaced im-
mediately by a qualified service person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flash-
light into the vent. Remove any foreign
material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive con-
densation. 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 loos-
ened. Check mechanical supports such
as wall straps for rigidity.
