Figure 8 - Horizontal Vent Termination Location

MINIMUM DISTANCES

A = Clearance above the grade, a veranda, porch, deck, or balcony [*12" (305mm) minimum]. B = Clearance to window or door that may be opened [*12" (305mm) minimum].

C = Clearance to permanently closed window [*minimum 12" (305mm) recommended to prevent condensation on window]

D = Vertical clearance to ventilated soffit located above the terminal within a horizontal distance of two (2) feet (610mm) from the centerline of the terminal [18" (457mm) minimum].

E = Clearance to unventilated soffits [12" (305mm) minimum]. Clearance to vinyl soffit [30" (762mm)]. F = Clearance to an outside corner. See Figure 9.

G = Clearance to an inside corner. See Figure 9.

H= *Not to be installed above a gas meter/regulator assembly within three (3) feet (914mm) horizontally from the centerline of the regulator.

I= Clearance to service regulator vent outlet [*3' (914mm) minimum].

J= Clearance to non-mechanical air supply inlet to building or the combustion air inlet to any other appliance [*12" (305mm)minimum].

K= Clearance to a mechanical air supply inlet [*6' (1829mm) minimum].

L= Clearance above a paved sidewalk or paved driveway located on public property [**7' (2133mm) minimum].

M= Clearance under veranda, porch, deck, or balcony [*12" (305mm) minimum***].

*As specified in CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes. Note: Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

**A vent must 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 two sides beneath the floor.

WARNING

Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearances to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 3" at the top and 1" at the sides and bottom of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest vertical wall (1" required). A 1" minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained at outside wall and on vertical runs. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
