But the connections look funky. I’d refer it out.

Beat me to it but only because I was busy booking…:slight_smile:
Manifolds are fine if done properly.

Thanks guys.

This is in an outside utility room with no dividers, no vented openings, and the dryer vent terminates just beside one of the furnaces.

So there are two gas furnaces, two gas water heaters, and at least one dryer(possibly two) vented to this room. The only air can be drawn from the attic and around the exterior doors.
