1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such as a carport, garage, attic,

crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can

build up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway, etc.

2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible

shielding or guards may be required.

3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of

vertical pipe be installed outside when the appliance is vented directly through a wall, to create some

natural draft to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure.

This will keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high

temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent through the

roof vertically.

4. Distance the from bottom of the termination and grade is 12” (30 cm) minimum. This is conditional

upon the plants and nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants

and shrubs located in the vicinity of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn.

5. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the

exterior of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond the control of Sherwood Industries

Ltd, we grant no guarantee against such incidents.

NOTE: Venting terminals shall not be recessed into walls or siding.
