G. Connecting The Furnace To Roof Exhaust / Intake Terminations
If it is not desirable, or feasible, to vent the furnace through a sidewall, it may be vertically vented
through the roof. Installation shall conform to the following guidelines, which are illustrated in
Figure 6A, below.
1. The outlet of the exhaust vent and the inlet of the combustion air intake, i.e. the terminations,
shall be a minimum of 12-inches above highest anticipated snow level.
2. The exhaust vent outlet must be installed a minimum of 12-inches above the air intake inlet.
3. Where exposed to prevailing winds, the combustion air intake shall be installed upwind of the
vent outlet.
4. The exhaust vent and combustion air intake can be a minimum of 3-inches and a maximum
of 24 inches apart.
NOTICE: When the vent termination is installed correctly, a draft should NOT be present in
the system during the furnace off-cycle.
