VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES
These instructions should be used as a
guideline and do not supersede local codes
in any way. Install venting according to local
codes, these instructions, the current National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or
the current standards of CAN/CSA-B149.1 in
Canada.
Vertical Vent Termination Clearances
Terminate multiple vent terminations according
to the installation codes listed above. Also see
Figure 4A.
Terminate single vent caps relative to building
components according to Figure 4B.
Horizontal Vent Termination Clearances
The horizontal vent termination must have a minimum of 6" (152 mm) clearance to any overhead
combustible projection of 2-1/2" (64 mm) or less. See Figure 5. For projections exceeding 2-1/2"
(64 mm), see Figure 5. For additional vent location restrictions refer to Figure 6 on Page 7.
Note - See Figure 28 on Page 19 for the exterior wall recess
allowances of the square horizontal termination.
The vent / air intake termination clearances
above the high side of an angled roof is as
shown in the following chart:

All horizontal terminations
may be located as close as
6 (152mm) to any
(non-combustible and
combustible) exterior
sidewall. This distance
may be decreased to 2
(51mm) for non--
combustible exterior
sidewalls only, if the
SV4.5HT-2 termination
is used.
