Abstract:
A fresh-air intake according to aspects of the disclosure includes an outer cover having a pair of side panels disposed in a generally parallel spaced relationship, a top panel coupled to, and disposed generally perpendicular to, each panel of the pair of side panels, a bottom panel disposed generally parallel to the top panel, and a front panel coupled to, and disposed generally perpendicular to, each panel of the pair of side panels and the top panel, the front panel having a window formed therein, a supply line coupled to the bottom panel, a weir extending above the bottom panel and surrounding a junction with the supply line, a baffle disposed inside the outer cover, the baffle being disposed inwardly of the window so as to prevent infiltration of moisture into the supply line, and a weep hole formed in the bottom panel.
