a. Over public walkways; or
b. Near soffit vents or crawl space vents or other areas where condensate or vapor could create a nusaince or hazard or property damage; or
c. Where condensate vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.
2. When locating vent terminations, consideration must be given to prevailing winds, location, and other c
onditions which may cause recirculation of the combustion products ofadjacent vents.
Recirculation can cause poor combustion, inlet condensate problems, and accelerated corrosion of the heat exchangers.
