5.14. Vent termination clearances
•
The location of the vent terminal must meet clearance specifications as shown in fig below. Also follow these
guidelines when determining the vent terminal location:
•
Do not locate the terminal where people come into accidental contact with it while the insert / ZC-fireplace is
operating.
•
There must not be any obstructions such as bushes, fences, decks, garden sheds, or utility buildings within
24” of the terminal cap.
•
Do not locate the terminal where it might be damaged by such things as car doors, lawn mowers, or snow
blowers. The terminal should be located away from areas where it could become blocked by snow or ice
build–up. Be sure to check the vent termination area after snow falls and clear it to prevent accidental block-
age of the vent system. When using a snow blower, be careful to direct snow away from the terminal area.
A: Clearance above grade, veranda, porch, deck, or balcony: *12” min.
B: Clearance to window or door that may be opened: *12” min. to top and sides *24” min. below.
C: Clearance to permanently closed window – 12” min. recommended to prevent condensation on window above.
D: Vertical clearance to ventilated soffit located above the terminal within a horizontal distance of 2’ from the cen-
terline of the terminal – 18” min.
E: Clearance to unventilated soffit – 12” min.
F: Clearance to outside corner – 6” to combustible, 2” to noncombustible.
G: Clearance to inside corner – 6” to combustible, 2” to noncombustible.
H: May not be installed above a meter/regulator assembly within 3 ft. horizontally from the centerline of the regula-
tor.
I:
Clearance to service regulator outlet - *6’ min.
J:
Clearance to non-mechanical air supply inlet for the building or to the combustion air inlet to any other fireplace
- *12” min.
K: Clearance to a mechanical air supply inlet - 6’ min.
L: **Clearance above paved sidewalk or paved driveway located on public property - *7 ft. min. (for U.S. installa-
tions follow the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1).
M: Clearance under veranda, porch, deck, or balcony – 18” min. (see Note A).
N: Clearances to trees, bushes, - 24” min.
*
For U.S. installations follow the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1
