In accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1-(Latest edition)/NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Code.

† 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.
*b) “Clearance in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier”.

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.
