I had a question asked by one of our customers that I wasn't sure how to =
answer
as yet. I could just research it and give him a more technical answer but =
I
thought I would throw it out to all the experts out there. He is having =
one of
our direct vent gas units installed by a propane company. He is using GS =
vent,
straight up,flashed to a metal roof attached to a metal stove in an 
area that is
subject to a lot of storms. What is his risk of a bolt hitting this system =
and
destroying his home and ......?Is a lightning rod attached to the vent =
going to
help? I am sure this must have been brought up before and I wanted to tell =
him
what others have done. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
