Vent Requirements (continued)
¥ Vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering)
¥ Vent termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or
other material
¥ Vent termination must be 1' above the roof and meet the requirements outlined in
ANSI 223.1, section 7.6.2.
1' Minimum
Note: ANSI 223.1, section 7.6.2 outlines
additional requirements for gas vent terminations.
If your installation involves a roof with a slope
greater than 6/12 or if a wall or other verical
obstruction is within 8' of the vent termination, the
vent termination will need to be taller. Refer to
ANSI 223.1 for full details.
NOTE: When installed, the vent must provide suitable draft for the
appliance. Other factors, such as exhaust fans, may create negative
pressure inside the home and cause down drafts. Additional vent
height may be required in these circumstances.
Draft Hood
TO TEST THE DRAFT:
Remove the back panel. Start the heater and
check the perimeter of the draft hood with a
gas detector or smoke. If combustion products
leak out the draft hood, the vent may need to
be taller to improve draft.
