What is the purpose of a gas venting system?

The purpose of a gas venting system is to safely expel combustion gases produced during the operation of gas appliances, such as furnaces, water heaters, and stoves. When these appliances burn gas to produce heat, they generate byproducts like carbon monoxide, water vapor, and other gases that can be harmful if not properly vented. The venting system directs these gases outside the building, ensuring the safety of the occupants by preventing the build-up of toxic fumes in confined spaces.

In addition to promoting safety, the venting system helps maintain the efficiency of gas appliances by allowing them to function as intended without being affected by the backflow of emissions. Effective venting is essential for both residential and commercial gas systems to operate safely and efficiently.
