I was reading the thread1203-155099. I had a few followup questions....
We have a problem with birds and occasionally bees.... no pun intended. We have drilled the weep holes to address the rain issue.
I have seen over the years, use of fine screens on the end of the tail pipes to discourage fowl play. Design has been to include the additional pressure drop caused by the screen. These screens are not full proof as they must become covered with debris, feathers, etc.
A consultant engineer has suggested these "covers" that are supposedly approved by OSHA. The website is here:
My initial reaction to them was, "No Way". Those things could get stuck or melt or somehow impair the relief capacity. After reading the aforementioned thread, it seems like many others have the same problem.
Has anyone every used these covers? Is there an OSHA or other Code that advises about the tail pipes? Is there another option?
