High Wind
Hello FIT,
Q: I am having problems with the intake vent of my new furnace, it is a PVC inlet. When high winds come along it will make the furnace cycle on and off. Right now I have a 90 degree elbow on the end of the intake pipe pointing down. Will the e-cap prevent this from happening?
Thanks, Tim
Tim,
A: Yes, unlike the 90 or the goose neck ( goose for short) the E-CAP actually cradles the top of the pipe so that when your thermostat calls for heat and your furnace's intake starts to draw combustion air from the outside the high winds won't be able to overwhelm your pipe's opening that is at the present sending a trouble signal to your new 90 percent furnace's control board telling your furnace, hey I'm experiencing a problem and need to shut down. If you decide to purchase the E-CAP, be sure and cut off the 90, then glue the new cap into place. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions let me know.
