Maintain clearances as shown in FIG.’s 4-1A thru 4-3B,
pages 21 and 22. Also maintain the following:
a.
Vent must terminate:
• At least 6 feet from adjacent walls.
• No closer than 12 inches below roof overhang.
• At least 7 feet above any public walkway.
• At least 3 feet above any forced air intake within
10 feet.
• No closer than 12 inches below or horizontally
from any door or window or any other gravity air
inlet.
b.
Air inlet must terminate at least 12 inches above
grade or snow line; at least 12 inches below the vent
termination (FIG. 4-1B); and the vent pipe must not
extend more than 24 inches vertically outside the

c.
Do not terminate closer than 4 feet horizontally
from any electric meter, gas meter, regulator, relief

Locate terminations so they are not likely to be damaged by
foreign objects, such as stones or balls, or subject to buildup
of leaves or sediment.
