• No closer than 12 inches (305 mm) below roof

overhang.

• At least 7 feet (2.1 m) above any public walkway.
• At least 3 feet (.9 m) above any forced air intake

within 10 feet (3 m).

• No closer than 12 inches (305 mm) below or

horizontally from any door or window or any
other gravity air inlet.
