a. Over publicwalkways;or
b. Near soffitvents or crawlspacevents orother areas wherecondensateorvapor could createa nuisanceor hazardor propertydamage;or
c. Where condensatevapor could causedamage orcouldbe detrimentalto the operationof regulators,reliefvalves,or otherequipment.
2. Whenlocatingvent terminations,considerationmust be givento prevailingwinds, location,and otherconditionswhich maycause recirculationof the combustionproductsof adjacentvents.
Recirculationcan cause poorcombustion,inletcondensateproblems,and acceleratedcorrosionof the heatexchangers.
3. Avoidventing underadeck or largeoverhang.Recirculationcould occurand causeperformanceorsystem problems.
