† A vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway that is located between two single-
family dwellings and serves both dwellings.
‡ Permitted only if a veranda, porch, deck or balcony is fully open on a minimum of two sides beneath the
floor.
*a) A minimum clearance value determined by testing in accordance with section 2.20.

The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as
cited in local codes or the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.73.4e and 7.8a, b as follows:
1. Do not terminate near soffit vents or crawl space or other area where
condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or cause
property damage.
2. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal where condensate or
vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of
regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.
3. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal over public area or
walkways where condensate or vapor can cause nuisance or hazard.
4. The vent shall terminate a minimum of 12 inches above expected
snowfall level to prevent blockage of vent termination.
Vent pipes serving power vented appliances are classified by building codes as
“vent connectors”. Required clearances from combustible materials must be
provided in accordance with information in this manual under LOCATION OF
WATER HEATER and CLEARANCES, and with National Fuel Gas Code and
local codes.
