your parts distributor.
Provision must be made for enough air for combustion and
ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See
“Recessed Area Installation Instructions” in the “Location
Requirements” sections.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2½" (64 mm)
outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2½" (64 mm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary vent system is required.
