    Air inlet

    I don't know about Springfield, Hot Rod, but I do know we here in Northern Michigan gave up on SS hardware cloth after the first year the manufacturers provided them. They like to frost over from about 10* down. Makes for a lot of unhppy customers and service techs. Go to your plumbing wholesaler and get a Genova PVC 49230/40 "hub-fit" floor drain. We've had one here at the shop for 15 years with no problems. On a Glowcore, no less.
