Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaust-
ing of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning
equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating

such as those published by the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

marked as appropriate for the application and be connected
to a GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupter) - protected branch
circuit.
