Vent Termination
•
The vent terminal must be located on an outside
wall or through the roof.
• This direct vent appliance is designed to operate
when an undisturbed airflow hits the outside vent
terminal from any direction.
•
The minimum clearances from this terminal that
must be maintained when located on an outside
wall are shown in the figure below. Any reduction
in these clearances could result in a disruption
of the airflow or a safety hazard. Local codes or
regulations may require greater clearances.
•
The vent terminal must not be recessed into a wall
or siding.
• The vent terminal should be positioned where it will
not be covered by snowdrifts.
• Sidewall vent terminations within 7 feet of grade
require a terminal guard.
