the vent terminal at least 7 feet (2.13m) above grade when

above a public walkway.

Do not terminate the venting system in a window well, stairwell,
alcove, courtyard, or other recessed area. Do not terminate the
venting system below grade.

Locate vent termination at least 3 feet (0.91m) from an inside
corner of an L-shaped structure.

Provide a minimum clearance of 4 feet (1.2m) horizontally from
electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.
Never locate vent cap above or below electric meters, gas meters,
regulators, and relief equipment unless a 4 foot (1.2m) horizontal
clearance is maintained.

Terminate the venting system at least 3 feet (0.9m) above any
forced air inlet within 10 feet (3.05m).

Terminate the venting system at least 4 feet (1.2m) below, 4 feet

CAUTION: Units which are shut down or

will not operate may experience freezing due to
convective air flow in flue pipe, through the air
inlet, or from negative pressure in the
mechanical room. In cold climates, operate
pump continuously to help prevent freezing of
boiler water. Provide proper freeze protection.
