VENT TERMINATION LOCATIONS

snow and from snowfall or snow removal equipment.
3. Locate the vent termination away from plants, bushes or any other object near the vent termination
that will interfere or obstruct the air flow around it.
4. DO NOT recess vent termination into walls, sidings or planters.
5. Vent terminations located below 7ft (2.13 M) from grade level or anywhere that it can be a burn
hazard to the public, such as patios and balconies, must be protected with an approved termination
cage. If using Archgard Venting System order (Part # C-1).
