Forced Air
Inlet
Terminate venting system minimum 3’
(914mm) above and 10' (3.0m) from
any forced air inlet (except boiler’s
combustion air inlet).
"L"
Corner
Vent termination shall NOT be installed
closer than 3' (914mm ) from inside
corner of “L” shaped structure.
Grade, Snow
& Ice
Maintain 12"(305mm) US, 18"(457mm)
Canada clearance above highest
anticipated snow level, 24" (610mm)
above roof.
Avoid locations where snow may drift
and block vent and combustion air.
Ice or snow may cause boiler to shut
down if vent or combustion air becomes
obstructed.
Condensate
Vent gas may condense, forming
moisture, may be corrosive. Protect
building materials at vent from exhaust of
vent gas.
Termination must be
min. 12" (305mm)
from or below doors,
