Remote Combustion Air Cap
A UL Listed air intake vent termination cap MUST be attached to the remote combustion air vent termination to
adequately protect the combustion air inlet from wind and weather. A UL Listed air intake termination cap is
available from PVI Industries and may have shipped with the water heater as a purchased option.
8.4 Vertical or Horizontal Remote Air Duct Termination
 Air inlet and exhaust vents should terminate in the same wind pressure area whenever possible.
 Air inlet must be located no less than 3 feet (0.91m) below the exhaust terminal if they are within 10 feet (3.05
m) of each other.
 If terminating through the roof, the air inlet must terminate at least 12 inches (0.3 m) above roof level and at
least 12 inches (0.3 m) above snow levels.
 If terminating through a sidewall, the air inlet must terminate at least 12 inches (0.3 m) above grade and/or at
least 12 inches (0.3 m) above normal snow levels.
