New Bryant furnace, model 340AAV. I am not sure why this is bugging me but I have never seen where the air intake and the furnace discharge are routed through the same housing. What am I missing? I couldn't get on the roof of this one.

There will be a concentric vent like this one on the roof, but pointing straight up.

Like he said. The client won't understand 'concentric' just tell 'em it's a combination intake/exhaust vent terminal and they'll get it first time.

Did you get a snap of the condensate drain configuration?
