3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be installed
outside when the appliance is vented directly through a wall, to create some natural draft to prevent the possibility of
smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure. This will keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard from
exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred venting method is to extend the
vent through the roof vertically.
4. Distance from the bottom of the termination and grade is 12” (30 cm) minimum. This is conditional upon the plants and
nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located in the vicinity of
termination. The grade surface must not be lawn.
5. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior of the house
might occur. Since these factors are beyond the control of FPI, we grant no guarantee against such incidents.
NOTE: Venting terminals shall not be recessed into walls or siding.

deck or porch, or any location

of fumes such as stairwells,

hot enough to cause burns
if touched by children. Non-
combustible shielding or guards
may be required.
