Section 4 VENTING
This appliance is certified under the ANS/CSA Standard for Vented
Gas-Fired Space Heating Appliances. In accordance with these
standards all sidewall venting must conform to the supplied diagram
for Vent Terminal Clearances, which are stated for both U.S. and
Canadian installations. These clearances should be compared
to but not less than those specified in the current ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code, or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code. Clearances not covered in the table or
above listed codes must comply with local installation codes and the
requirements of your local gas supplier.
