Horizontal Vent Termination Clearances

The horizontal vent termination must have a minimum of 3" (76 mm) clearance to any over- head combustible projection of 2-1/2" (64 mm) or less. See Figure 5. For projections exceed- ing 2-1/2" (64 mm), see Figure 5. All horizontal terminations may be located as close as 6"
