The intake air pipe is not typically drained, so it must be terminated with a down-
turned elbow as shown.
The intake pipe does not need to penetrate the roof at the same elevation as the
exhaust (as shown); lower down on the roof is acceptable.
Best Practice: To reduce the possibility of expansion noise, allow a ¼"
gap around the exhaust and air intake piping.
