Locating where to place the makeup air
There are no official restrictions where to put the inlet for makeup air but some locations are better suited than others to improve the chimney drafting.
1. It’s better to have the air inlet as short as possible
2. It’s better to have the air inlet outside cut out on the side of the main wind than on the opposite side.
Note:
If the air inlet is too long with too many bends, that can have consequences on the air pressure in the house and as a result on the chimney drafting.
If you need any further assistance please contact the European Home Service Department at 781-324-8383.
