terminations
1. When terminating multiple heaters,
terminate each vent/air connection
as shown in Figures 12-23 and 12-
24.
WARNING!!!
Terminate all
vent pipes at the same height
and all air pipes at the same
height to avoid possibility
of severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property
damage.
2. Place roof penetrations to obtain
minimum clearance of 12 inches
between edge of air intake elbow
and adjacent vent pipe of another
heater for U.S. installations (see
Figure 12-23). For Canadian
installations, provide clearances
required by CSA B149.1 Installation

connection. It is not classified as
a forced air intake with regard to
spacing from adjacent heater vents.
