with a fi ring rate more than 10% lower than the appliance
rating. The appliance and vent system could be damaged
due to condensation.

within ¼” of the inside face of the combustion chamber. If the
space around the burner air tube is more than ¼”, wrap the
burner air tube with minimum 2300-°F-rated ceramic fi ber
blanket to seal off the gap. Notice that the fl ameholder may
