venting devices, which shall be specified by the Purchaser and verified by the Manufacturer.
5.8.5.5 All free vents shall be provided with corrosion-resistant coarse-mesh bird screens of a maximum opening
size of (19 mm [3/4 in.] nominal opening). It is recommended that in areas where snow drifting or icing may be an
issue, special attention to vent details (such as profile, diameter, capacity, arrangement, or increased screen size)
should be made. In these situations the Purchaser shall specify modified venting requirements based on anticipated
needs for a specific environment. The smallest dimension of the opening in any mesh used for bird screen is the
governing size for the opening.
5.8.5.6 Flanged roof nozzles shall conform to Figure 5.19 and Table 5.14a and Table 5.14b. Slip-on flanges and
