Has anyone ever seen a valve like this on the PVC exhaust?

Yes, but I have no explanation as to why it is there.

Isn't that the combustion air intake side?

The one that I saw was on the intake. It was a farmhouse, and all I could figure was they closed it in warmer weather (no a/c) to keep rodents out. (vacant home, no seller to ask).

Probably not good if it is not open during the heating season. "Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts." |
