VENT TERMINAL LOCATION CLEARANCES
The vent must be installed with the following minimum clear-
ances (refer to Figure 26), and complying with local codes or
utility requirements or other authority having jurisdiction.
1.
1 foot above grade and above normal snow levels.
2.
Not above any walkway.
3.
4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally from, or 1 foot above any
door/window or gravity air inlet to the building, or from
gas or electric meters.
4.
6 feet from any inside corner formed by two exterior
walls. 10 feet is recommended where possible.
5.
At least 4 feet horizontally from any soffit or undereave
vent.
6.
10 feet from any forced air inlet to the building. Any fresh
air or make up inlet as for a dryer or furnace area is con-
sidered to be a forced air inlet.
7.
Avoid areas where condensate drippage may cause
problems such as above planters, patios, or adjacent to
windows where steam may cause fogging.
NOTE:
Consideration must be given for degradation of build-
ing materials by flue gases.
NOTE:
Shaded components of the vent system shown in Fig-
ures 27 through 29 are considered to be part of the termina-
tion. These components should not be counted when
determining piping limitations. Sidewall termination may
require sealing or shielding of building surfaces with a corro-
sive resistant material to protect against combustion product
corrosion.
