Table 5 Vent/air inlet termination clearances
Warning
Important!: Maintain at least the minimum separation of exhaust vent termination from
boiler intake air as illustrated in Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 . Failure
to do so can result in a dangerous situation where exhaust gasses are re-ingested with
combustion air. Damage to the boiler can result from a failure to maintain these
separations. Third party vent termination kits and concentric wall penetration kits that
do not maintain these minimum separations must
not be used. Improper installation
will void the warranty. Do not use proprietary InnoFlue or PolyPro PPs terminals
without specific approval from IBC.
Sidewall direct vent with separate vent and air pipes must be terminated as follows:
Locate the intake air and exhaust vent terminations on the same plane (side) of the
building.
1
In accordance with the current CAN/CSA-B149 Installation Codes.
2
If locally adopted installation codes specify clearances different than those illustrated, then the most stringent shall apply.
3
In accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Code.
4
A vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway that is located between two single family dwellings and serves both
dwellings.
5
Permitted only if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is fully open on a minimum of two sides beneath the floor.
