WARNING
In addition to preventing
ingestion of chemical
contaminants, care must
be taken to ensure air
intake terminals are not
installed in locations where
contamination might occur
due to ingestion of particulate
foreign material (dust, dirt
and debris).
WARNING
Intake air openings must be
congured such that rain
or other forms of moisture
cannot enter the air intake
piping system. Otherwise
serious damage to the boiler /
water heater may result.
NOTE
Care must be taken when
installing air intake piping to
ensure that a “trap” is not
formed in the piping so as to
allow a build-up of water, and
blockage of intake air.
Such blockage will result in
a boiler / water heater safety
shut-down.
