PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTIONS
PROCEDURE FOR SAFETY INSPECTION OF AN EXISTING APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid in determining that an appliance is properly installed
and is in a safe condition for continuing use.
This procedure is predicated on central furnace, boiler, and water heater installations, and it should be
recognized that generalized procedures cannot anticipate all situations. Accordingly, in some cases,
deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment.
1. This procedure shall be performed prior to installation of the automatic vent damper device.
2. If it is determined there is a condition which could result in unsafe operation, the appliance should be
shut off and the owner advised of the unsafe condition. Do not install the automatic vent damper device
until the unsafe condition has been corrected.
