Re: AL29-4C Termination Cap

P/N 5002506

Bixby Dealer,

It has been brought to our attention that wind direction can affect the performance of the AL29-4C termination
cap (Fig. 1). The termination cap works well in the vertical application (Fig. 2). However, it has been reported
that in the horizontal application (Fig. 3), the exhaust may be transferred to the intake if the wind is blowing
directly towards the cap-end.

Indications: Stove operates poorly and appears to be running rich (too much fuel/not enough air) as wind blows
exhaust into the intake.

Remedy: Apply foil HVAC tape to cover the top slots and the outside perimeter bottom slots (See Fig. 1). This
will prevent wind from blowing through the cap. Or you may ship the termination cap to BDM for a
modification. The cost for the modification is $6.00 and the dealer is responsible for shipping to and from
BDM.
