• 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.

Air inlet must terminate at least 12 inches above
grade or snow line; at least 12 inches below the vent

c.

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

of leaves or sediment.
