wall or siding. |
• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for |
every 12" of run toward the termination. |
• You may paint the vent terminal with |
450ºF (232ºC) |
ordinate with the exterior finish. |
• There must not be any obstruction such |
as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks, |
or utility buildings within 24" from the |
front of the termination cap. |
• Do not locate termination cap where exces- |
sive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure |
to clear vent termination area after snow falls |
to prevent accidental blockage of venting |
system. When using snow blowers, do not |
direct snow towards vent termination area. |
LOCATION OF VENT
TERMINATION
When locating vent termination, it is impor- tant to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 8, page 6. You will avoid extra framing by positioning your fireplace against an already existing framing mem- ber. The sides of the fireplace may be posi- tioned directly against combustible walls.
*Check with local codes or with the current CAN/CGA B149[.1 or .2] Installation Codes for Canada or the USA Installations follow the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1, also known as NFPA 54.
