**a flue shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.

***only permitted if veranda, porch, deck or balcony is fully open on a minimum of 2 sides beneath the floor, or meets Note 2.

NOTE 1: On private property where termination is less than 7 feet above a sidewalk, driveway, deck, porch, veranda or balcony, use of a listed cap shield is suggested. (See flue components page)

NOTE 2: Termination in an alcove space (spaces open only on one side and with an overhang) are permitted with the dimensions specified for vinyl or non-vinyl siding and soffits. 1. There must be 2.7 m minimum between termination caps. 2. All mechanical air intakes within 3M of a termination cap must be a minimum of 2.7 m below the termination cap. 3. All gravity air intakes within 2.7 m of a termination cap must be a minimum of .31M foot below the termination cap.

Figure 4.4 Minimum Clearances for Termination

NOTE 3: Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

NOTE 4: Termination caps may be hot. Consider their proximity to doors or other traffic areas.

NOTE 5: Location of the flue termination must not interfere with access to the electrical service.

Heat & Glo assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the appliance when the flueing system does not meet these requirements.
