CAUTION
A. Venting Termination Requirements
1. Terminationmustexhaustaboveairinletelevation. It is
strongly recommended that at least 1.5m of vertical
pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly
through a wall.Thiswillcreateanaturaldraft,which
willhelppreventthepossibilityofsmokeorodorventing
intothehomeduringapoweroutage.Itwillalsokeep
exhaustfromcausinganuisanceorhazardbyexposing
peopleorshrubstohightemperatures.Thesafestand
preferredventingmethodistoextendtheventvertically
throughtheroof.
2. Distancefrom doorsandopeningwindows,orgravityor
ventilationairinletsintobuilding:
a. Notlessthan1.2mbelow;
b. Notlessthan1.2mhorizontallyfrom;
c. Notlessthan305mmabove.
3. Distancefrompermanentlyclosedwindows;
a.Notless than305mmbelow;horizontallyfromor
above.
4. Distancebetween bottomofterminationandgradeshould
be305mmminimum.Thisisconditionaluponplantsin
thearea,andnatureofgradesurface.Thegradesur-
facemustbeanon-combustiblematerial(i.e.,rock,dirt).
Thegradesurfacemustnotbelawn.Distancebetween
bottomofterminationandpublic walkwayshouldbe
2.13mminimum.
5. Distancetocombustible materials mustbe610mm
minimum.Thisincludesadjacentbuildings, fences,
protrudingpartsofthestructure,roofoverhang,plants
andshrubs,etc.
