WARNING
B. Venting Termination Requirements
1
. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of verti-
cal pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly
through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which
will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting
into the home during a power outage. It will also keep
exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing
people or shrubs to high temperatures. The safest and
preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically
through the roof.

2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally
from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade
should be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is con-
ditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible
material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be
lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 84 inches (2134mm) minimum.

6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffits.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
