Upflow Installation The combustion air and exhaust vent may exit through the top, left or right side of the cabinet when viewed in the upflow position. The inducer is installed so that the exhaust vent may exit the top and left sides without requiring rotation. If exhaust vent exits the top panel, use the two street elbows to route the vent. One elbow secured to the inducer drain connector, will angle toward the front of cabinet with the second nested inside directed towards the top panel. (The
