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.

1. Do not terminate the vent in any
enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such
as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace,
narrow walkway, closely fenced area,
under a sun deck or porch, or any
location that can build up a concentration
of fumes such as stairwells, covered
breezeway, etc.
2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to
cause burns if touched by children. Non-
combustible shielding or guards may be
required.
