A draft diverter is a device used in venting systems, particularly for appliances like gas water heaters, furnaces, or boilers. Its primary function is to redirect exhaust gases from the appliance to the outside atmosphere while preventing backdrafts and ensuring proper airflow. By maintaining a balanced pressure, a draft diverter helps improve combustion efficiency and reduces the risk of carbon monoxide buildup. Proper installation and maintenance of a draft diverter are essential for safe and efficient appliance operation.
The purpose of the vent on the furnace is to ventilate flue gases out side of the house.

The gas furnace inducer motor helps to create a draft in the heating system, which assists in the proper combustion of gas and the removal of exhaust gases.
The purpose of a drip leg in the gas piping is used as a device to capture dirt and debris from entering the furnace.
A gas furnace works by heating up the element inside the furnace. The gas comes into the furnace and is lit by a spark that comes from the pilot light. The fire heats up the element and air from the fan pushes the heat into the house.
an electric furnace runs off of 208/230 Volts while a typical gas furnace runs off of 120 also a gas furnace will have a valve for the gas relay where the gas enters the furnace.
Your furnace pilot light may keep going out due to issues such as a dirty pilot light, a faulty thermocouple, a draft in the area, or a problem with the gas supply. It is important to have a professional inspect and repair the furnace to ensure safe and efficient operation.
In a balanced draft boiler, you actually have both: forced draft (FD) fans supplying air to the furnace, and induced draft (ID) fans removing flue gas. Typically, the FD fans control airflow, while ID Fans control furnace pressure to slightly below atmospheric pressure. In general though, the choice between forced draft and induced draft is based on how "tight" the system is - if you have leaks, it is better to use ID, as FD will cause product loss.
