Maintain clearances as shown in FIG.’s 4-1A thru 4-4B,
pages 23 thru 25. Also maintain the following:
a.

Vent must terminate:

• At least 6 feet (1.8 m) from adjacent walls.
• 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.

b.

Air inlet must terminate at least 12 inches (305 mm)
above grade or snow line; at least 12 inches (305 mm)
below the vent termination (FIG. 4-1B); and the vent
pipe must not extend more than 24 inches (610 mm)
vertically outside the building.

c.

Do not terminate closer than 4 feet (1.2 m)
horizontally from any electric meter, gas meter,
regulator, relief valve, or other equipment. Never
terminate above or below any of these within 4 feet
(1.2 m) horizontally.

6.

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.
