Clearance from operable
windows, doors, any
openings in the wall,
shrubs or vegetation over
12” in height
Clearance from the ends and front of the
generator must be 36 inches. This would
include shrubs, trees and any kind of
vegetation. Clearance at the top should
be a minimum of 60 inches from any
structure, overhang or projections from
the wall. The generator should not be
placed under a deck or other structure
that is closed in and would limit or
constrain air flow.
These guidelines are based upon fire
testing of the generator enclosure and
the manufacturer’s requirement for air
flow for proper operation. Local codes
may be different and more restrictive
than what is described here.
