MAKE-UP AIR

VERTICAL DUCTS

Often it is more practical to install vertical make-up air ducts to the out doors. Again, two
openings are required - one within 12 inches of the top of the enclosure and one within
twelve inches of the bottom of the enclosure. Each opening shall have a free area of not
less than 1 square inch per 4000 BTUH of the total input of all appliances within the
enclosure.
