What do they actually do?
I get the Venturi part, at least the Simpson Horizontal one, and keep the weather and critters out, but, if you have a screen, and proper angled termination, what else does it need to do? Oh yeah, and maintain the proper clearance/distance from the wall.
Here's my situation. My term cap sticks out 13-15 inches... ish. Water dripping off the roof cleared it, but snow likes to curl under and I am afraid of a large ice chunk breaking off and tattooing the cap. That would be a bad day. I have a lot of room to reach the 6" mark from the wall or combustible, but it would mean building my own, which isnt a problem. I just want to make sure it's all safe and good.
Input? And thanks for reading.
