OT

Do NOT Terminate Vent:

•In any location that will allow flue gases or soot from enter- ing or staining the building

•In any location which could create a nuisance or hazard

•In any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or porch, narrow walkway

•Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.

OT

Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.

•It is recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting into the home during a power outage.

•It will also keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.

*NOTE: Consult local building, fire officials or authorities having jurisdic- tion. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

•The safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically through the roof or above the roof.
