DO NOT connect this gas appliance, or any other appliance
using a positive venting pressure, in a common vent system

• Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals;
• Calcium chloride used for thawing;
• Sodium chloride used for water softening;
• Refrigerant leaks;
• Paint or varnish removers;
• Hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid;
• Cements and glues;
• Antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers;
• Chlorine-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning solvents found in household laundry
rooms;
• Adhesives used to fasten building products and other similar products.
Do not pipe combustion air near sources of products that may contaminate the air combustion,
such as:
• Dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments;
• Swimming pools;
• Metal fabrication plants;
• Beauty shops;
